Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre

Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre, Indoor sports arena in Townsville, Australia

The Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre is an indoor arena in Townsville, Queensland, built in 1993 with a capacity of 5,257. It was the home court of the Townsville Crocodiles basketball team from 1993 until the end of the 2013–14 NBL season.

The arena opened in 1993 with a capacity of 5,257. From 1993 until the end of the 2013–14 NBL season it was the home court of the Townsville Crocodiles, who returned for 2015–16 after a season at Townsville RSL Stadium. From 2021 it became the home arena of the Townsville Fire for the 2021–22 WNBL season.

The center serves as the main gathering place for major events across the region and draws visitors from surrounding areas. Concerts, sports competitions, and exhibitions here shape the cultural life of the city.

The building sits centrally on the Entertainment Drive grounds and offers ample parking plus easy access to bus stops and taxi services. Visitors should arrive early to find good parking and get oriented before events that draw crowds.

During Townsville Crocodiles home games the arena was known as "The Swamp"; when the Townsville Fire women's team moved in for the 2021–22 WNBL season, it became "The Fire Pit". The Crocodiles left for Townsville RSL Stadium in 2014–15 after attendance fell, then announced in May 2015 they would return.
