Hughes, 25, passed away on Thursday from head injuries sustained while playing the sport he loved so much and at which he excelled.
Bradman Foundation Museum curator David Wells OAM said that many people had been inquiring about how they could pay tribute to the talented young cricketer.
With this in mind Bradman Oval has been set up as a location where people can leave flowers, while condolences to the Hughes family can be left in a message book set up at the museum.
Mr Wells said everyone in the community was welcome to come to the venue to honour the memory of Hughes.
The solemn site has been set on a day when many cricketing greats and supporters will roll into the Bradman facility to pay their last respects to yet another cricketing champion, Ian Craig OAM, 79, who passed away last week after a battle with cancer.
Mr Craig was a long-time Bowral resident and former test captain who played 11 test matches for Australia.
The final innings of both Phillip Hughes and Ian Craig is highlighted on the Bradman scoreboard on Friday.
