Perry Lakes Basketball Stadium, Basketball stadium in Floreat, Western Australia.
Perry Lakes Basketball Stadium was an indoor sports complex in Floreat with eight basketball courts, the main court featuring hardwood flooring and seating for around 1500 spectators. The facility served as the region's central basketball hub with amenities for competitions and player development.
The facility opened in 1962 and was built to host Australia's national basketball championships, quickly becoming the state's premier basketball venue. It maintained this role until 2010, when newer facilities took over its function.
The venue served as the home for regional and national basketball teams over several decades, making it a gathering place for fans and a symbol of the sport in the region. This role shaped how locals viewed basketball and established the stadium as central to the community's sporting identity.
The location was easily accessible and offered basic facilities for spectators and teams, including parking and locker rooms for athletes. Visitors should know that the facility is no longer operational and cannot be accessed for events today.
The main court was once ranked among Australia's finest basketball playing surfaces, competing with only a handful of other national venues for quality. This high standard of playing surface helped attract professional teams and major championships to the region.
