SA Athletics Stadium - Back training area now open!

Published Thu 28 Jan 2021

The synthetic surface work on the SA Athletics Stadium back training area is now complete and available for use by athletes and coaches.

Our upgraded facility featuring

  • 5 lane 100m straight
  • Dual Long Jump/Triple Jump pits
  • Multi purpose warm-up/High Jump zone (20mx20m)
  • Javelin (international standard 33.50m)
  • Pole Vault
  • Walkway from main track

Work continues on a new Hammer/Discus cage and reconfigured Shot Put, so please take care to avoid this area when training. In coming weeks a pedestrian gate will be installed in the perimeter fence to create seamless access from the track to warm-up area for athletes wearing spikes.

This project is funded by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing as part of the SA Athletics Stadium upgrades.
