John Landy Field Recreation Reserve

John Landy Field Recreation Reserve, recreation reserve in South Geelong, Victoria, Australia

John Landy Field is a recreation reserve in South Geelong with open grass areas and a running track built to national standards. The site includes spaces for multiple sports, playgrounds, and the W. J. P. Wood Pavilion for shelter and gatherings.

The field was built in the late 1950s after John Landy advocated in Geelong for creating a modern training facility. This initiative grew from the local community's desire to establish a specialized athletics venue for the region.

The venue is named after John Landy, one of six Geelong Guild athletes honoured at a Geelong City Council dinner on 15 January 1957 after the Melbourne Olympics. The Geelong Guild Athletic Club, founded on 13 July 1908, funded much of the build from its life savings, donating $3,989.80.

The site is open 24 hours daily and offers areas for running, playing, and training. Parking, changerooms, and first aid stations were upgraded in 2020 to improve comfort for all users.

The field hosted a major championship for regional athletes from Victoria in 2016, attracting competitors from across the state. This event showed the venue's role as a regional competition center beyond local training.
