For a town of its size, Poowong is quite well off with regard to its facilities. Facilities include four tennis courts, two netball courts, an indoor basketball stadium, a primary school, large community hall, heated swimming pool, a number of churches and an Australian rules football oval. The town has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Ellinbank & District Football League.[4]
