Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre, Field hockey stadium in Sydney Olympic Park, Australia.
Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre is a sports venue with two playing fields and a distinctive sail-shaped roof. The facility holds up to 8,000 spectators and includes changing areas, meeting rooms, and a small retail shop.
The facility was built in 1998 and served as a main venue for hockey during the 2000 Olympic Games. An investment of over 15 million Australian dollars created a modern competition venue for Australia.
The venue serves as a hub for hockey players across the region, supporting training groups of all abilities. People from NSW use the facilities regularly for competitions and club gatherings.
The venue is easy to reach and has plenty of parking for visitors and athletes. It is best to arrive early during major events to secure the best viewing spots.
After the Olympic Games, the stadium was adapted for the Paralympic Games and hosted football matches. This flexible use demonstrates how modern sports venues can be modified for different sports.
