Club History

Founded in 1969 as an outlet for boys to develop their football skills, the club had grown to be able to field a senior side in 1978. The club transferred to the Eastern District Football League in 1981. In 1997 the club decided to change its name to Eastern Lions Football club in the hope of wider community appeal. At the end of 2016, the club voted to change its name back to Fairpark Junior Football Club.
