Bradman Oval is situated at Bowral in the southern highlands area of New South Wales, Australia. Named after the famous cricketer Don Bradman who lived locally. Bradman played here in the 1920s.

An attractive ground, with a white picket fence and an old fashioned pavilion. Well suited to spectators with shady areas under many of the local trees. The Camden Woollybutt is the main gum tree species surrounding the playing surface.

Bradman Oval and the nearby Bradman Museum are tourist attractions for cricket fans in Australia, and for people visiting from overseas.
