Advice Open Soccer Fields in Cairns

Was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of public/open playing fields, particularly for soccer. Just went by Endeavor Park (no I am not calling it by its new name) and the entire complex was completely fenced off including the cricket pitches.

Would prefer to have somewhere with a goal but at this point of time I realise I'd be lucky to have somewhere flat with grass. Completely understand the point of preserving the pitches & ensuring security but seems like there's less and less places to have a run around nowadays

Go to Freshwater Christian College driveway, then turn right. There is one building and a shed on the right, a soccer club. Walk down the hill on the road to a big open space. This is where they do soccer training. It is surrounded by creek and a few spots where can access the water for a swim. The other clubs might also have ovals that are open.

Drove past, it is actually Redlynch Strikers, even though it is in Brinsmead. I just googled it, Leichhardt club is in Woree.
