Western Australian Athletics Stadium, Athletics stadium in Mount Claremont, Australia
The Western Australian Athletics Stadium contains a nine-lane 400-meter track with two additional 12-lane sprint tracks for competitive racing events.
The facility opened in May 2009 to replace Perry Lakes Stadium, which had served as the primary athletics venue since the 1962 Commonwealth Games.
The stadium features dedicated spaces named after Australian sports figures, including the Shirley Strickland Grandstand and Herb Elliott Forecourt.
