Margaret Court Arena, Indoor sports arena at Melbourne Park, Australia.
Margaret Court Arena is a multipurpose indoor hall at Melbourne Park featuring modern design and a retractable roof. The venue holds approximately 7,500 spectators distributed across multiple seating sections.
The hall opened in 1988 as Show Court One when the Australian Open relocated from Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club to its current site. It was later renamed Margaret Court Arena in honor of one of tennis history's greatest players.
The arena is a central entertainment venue in Melbourne where tennis, concerts, basketball, and netball take place throughout the year. Visitors experience a wide variety of sporting events and entertainment programs that attract athletes and audiences from around the world.
The arena sits within the Melbourne Park grounds with direct access to public transportation, food options, and parking. Plan extra travel time when major events like the Australian Open are underway, as crowds can be heavy.
The arena underwent major renovations in 2015 and is now one of the largest facilities at the Australian Open. It was originally known simply as Show Court One before being renamed after tennis legend Margaret Court.
