Western Australian Athletics Stadium

Western Australian Athletics Stadium, Athletics stadium in Mount Claremont, Australia

The Western Australian Athletics Stadium in Mount Claremont has a nine-lane 400-metre track and two 12-lane 110-metre sprint straights. Field facilities include five jump pits, four pole vault runways, four shot put circles, two hammer and discus cages, and two high jump and javelin sites. The Shirley Strickland Grandstand, Herb Elliott Forecourt and Wally Foreman Walk honour past athletes, and the infield can be set up for soccer or rugby.

The facility opened in 2009 and replaced Perry Lakes Stadium, which had served as the primary athletics venue since the 1962 Commonwealth Games. This move represented a modernisation of the region's sports infrastructure.

Three named features honour Western Australian athletes: the Shirley Strickland Grandstand, the Herb Elliott Forecourt and the Wally Foreman Walk. The opening ceremony on 26 May 2009 included activities acknowledging the Aboriginal traditional owners, and an inaugural 100 m sprint was held.

The venue is in Mount Claremont, near Challenge Stadium. The infield is laid out for soccer and rugby as well as athletics, and Subiaco AFC has played home games here since 2014. Check which sport or event is scheduled before travelling, as the stadium is configured differently for each.

Only one concert has ever been staged here: Stevie Nicks played the inaugural show on 26 November 2011. A Lenny Kravitz date set for 28 March 2012 was cancelled, and an 80's Dance Picnic Party with Ali Campbell and Billy Ocean moved to the neighbouring Challenge Stadium.
