Fairfield Canoe Club sits on the banks of the Yarra River at 7–9 The Esplanade, Fairfield, and is one of the oldest canoe clubs in Australia, tracing its origins to 1919.

The club owns its clubhouse on private land, with direct water access to the Yarra, boat storage racks, fully equipped changerooms, and a large meeting area.

The club offers a four-week beginner course, regular training sessions, coaching, and access to a fleet of club-owned beginner and intermediate boats, as well as allocated storage for private boats.

Members can also take part in social events and a weekly juniors program for paddlers aged 10–16. Water levels on the Yarra are monitored closely, with beginner courses postponed or cancelled when levels exceed 1. 0 metres.
