Project Description
Situated within Newcastle West, this cutting-edge athletics hub represents a major investment in the region's sports infrastructure. This regional athletics hub features an 8-lane synthetic track of world-class standard, complete with track and field facilities and a walking path. The track is fully illuminated by ten sports floodlighting masts equipped with LED lamps that meet IAAF Class 2 standards, ensuring optimal visibility during winter conditions. The new municipal facility was designed and built with the full range of track and field events catered for.
Additionally, the hub includes a toilet block and service building. It offers 51 parking spaces, including four electric vehicle charging spots, five accessible spaces, and four bus parking areas. Bike racks and a contactless water point are also available on-site.
