Trevor Barker Beach Oval,[2] also known simply as Trevor Barker Oval and currently known under naming rights as the Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval (WSTBBO),[3][4] is an Australian rules football ground in Beach Road, on the border between Hampton and Sandringham, Victoria.

Most commonly known as Beach Road Oval throughout its existence, in 1998 the ground was renamed after the late Trevor Barker, who died of cancer in 1996 at the age of 39.[5] Barker had coached the Sandringham Football Club to the 1992 and 1994 premierships.
