Hawthorn Football Club (2025–present)

The Kennedy Community Centre (KCC) is the training facility and headquarters of the Hawthorn Football Club, located in the south-east Melbourne suburb of Dingley Village. The complex includes two Australian rules football ovals (with plans for an additional two), elite aquatic and gym facilities for Hawthorn's men's and women's teams, an indoor training facility, and recovery facilities.

Construction began in February 2024 and was completed in September 2025, with the facility officially opened two months later.

The main oval (known as the AFLW Community Oval) will host Hawthorn's home matches in the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition, as well as Victorian Football League (VFL) and community-level matches, and includes a pavilion with a 500-seat grandstand. The facility will be made available for public use for at least 20 hours per week.
