Pottery Green is named after two potteries which operated in the area from 1883 to 1910. The headwaters of Gore Creek between Dorritt Street and Pottery Green provided suitable clay for the production of household items such as Toby Jugs, teapots and vases which were in great demand.

Pottery Green Oval is located between Little Street & Phoenix Street, Lane Cove.

This is a sporting oval that sits below the Lane Cove Aquatic Leisure Centre.

There are lights at Pottery Green Oval for night games and training.
