Southlake AS was started on a former estate lake at Southlake in Woodley. A number of years later they took on a second venue, a gravel pit lake at Tippings Lane (no longer on the ticket). And then in 1976 they started to rent another gravel pit lake near Twyford from Redlands Aggregates (now Lafarge), this lake known as Redlands was purchased by the club in 1999. 800m of the River Loddon at Riverside Park Earley was added to the clubs venues in June 2010.

There have been many stockings of Carp, Tench and silver fish over the years and more will take place in the future.
