Hartleyvale Stadium, Sports stadium in Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa
Hartleyvale Stadium in Observatory is a sports facility with four astroturf fields and a dedicated hockey section located on Willow Road. The venue can accommodate around 1,700 spectators and serves multiple sports activities.
The stadium underwent major renovation in 1996 as part of South Africa's bid for the 2004 Olympics. This modernization was a significant sports infrastructure project for the city.
The venue serves as a polling station during South African elections, linking sports infrastructure with civic life in the neighborhood. This dual purpose shows how public sports facilities take on multiple roles within the community.
The facility features two primary astroturf fields that support multiple sports and can be flexibly scheduled. Contact the Sports and Recreation Facility office for information about availability and bookings.
The venue received the SAIA Award of Merit in 1996 and the SAIA Award of Excellence in 2008 for its architectural design. These honors across different years highlight the building's importance in South African sports architecture.
