Campbelltown Athletics Centre re-opens following significant upgrades

Published on 29 April 2025

Tens of thousands of athletes are set to reap the benefits following the re-opening of the Campbelltown Athletics Centre’s upgraded track.

The venue has been closed since early December 2024 for significant upgrades to be undertaken on the facility’s track, which has been re-certificated as a World Athletics Class 2 track.

The project included a high-performance surface being installed to allow the venue to host state and national level events. It is the first time that resurfacing works have been undertaken at the track since 2010.

A new state-of-the-art discus cage has also been installed at the facility.

“These significant upgrades reinforce our Campbelltown Athletics Centre as a leading venue for sport, and I look forward to seeing how the whole community, including our seasoned and up and coming athletics stars, make full use of the track,” Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound said.

“This project is significant in local sport and is a great example of our commitment to providing a high-quality space for sporting clubs that work hard to promote an active and healthy lifestyle for our community and visitors to the Campbelltown region,” Cr Lound said.

The Campbelltown Athletics Centre was officially opened in June 1999 by Mayor of Campbelltown Paul Sinclair as a training track for international teams ahead of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

The facility has become one of Sydney’s premier synthetic athletics tracks, with the centre hosting more than 120 school carnivals each year for schools from inside and outside of the Campbelltown Local Government Area.

The venue is also utilised for numerous annual community events including the Campbelltown Christmas Carols and the 24 Hour Fight Against Cancer Macarthur.
