Central Coast Stadium, Multi-purpose sports venue in Gosford, Australia.
Central Coast Stadium is a rectangular ground with seating on only three sides; the southern end is open, giving filtered views of Brisbane Water through a row of palm trees. Three grandstands built by Abigroup hold 20,059 all-seater places, and the field is enclosed by a low perimeter wall. Blue metal light towers with clusters of rectangular lamps rise above the seating, and flat-roofed canopies cover sections along the left and upper right.
The site evolved from Waterside Park in 1915 to Grahame Park in 1939 before opening as a modern sports venue on February 6, 2000. Construction followed the need for a contemporary facility to host regional sporting events in New South Wales.
The arena provides a home ground for the local football club and several rugby teams throughout the season. Visitors experience regular matchday culture as supporters wearing club colors fill the stands and cheer together.
The ground lies within walking distance of Gosford CBD and Gosford railway station, served by the Central Coast & Newcastle Line and a few long-distance services. The southern end is open, giving filtered views of Brisbane Water through a row of palm trees. The Central Coast Leagues Club and League Club Field stand across Dane Drive.
Ospreys maintain an active nest in one of the floodlight towers and raise chicks there annually since 2016. Visitors occasionally spot the birds returning to the nest during the breeding season in spring.
