WIN Entertainment Centre

WIN Entertainment Centre is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Wollongong that can be arranged in different layouts depending on the event type. The facility accommodates up to 6,000 spectators and sits close to the Pacific Ocean.

The venue opened in 1998 and became an important addition to the city's event infrastructure. Since then it has grown to host a wide range of sports competitions and cultural performances.

The venue serves as a hub for regional performing arts, hosting local dance competitions and music performances throughout the year. It plays an important role in connecting artists with audiences across the city and surrounding areas.

The centre is located in downtown Wollongong and is easily accessible from the train station on foot. Plan ahead for parking during major events as the waterfront location can get crowded.

Local basketball fans affectionately call the venue The Sandpit, a nickname referencing its beachside location. This playful name connects the modern arena to the memory of an earlier stadium that stood in the same area.
