Cazaly's Stadium, Cricket field in Cairns, Australia
Cazaly's Stadium is a sports field in Westcourt featuring a central grass playing surface, a western grandstand, and standing areas that hold up to 12,000 spectators. The venue is fully equipped with floodlights and has separate entrances at each end of the ground.
The ground was established in 1957 by a national sports council as the first dedicated football field in this regional city. Its development came from efforts by local people who wanted to grow the sport in their community.
The stadium takes its name from an Australian rules football player, showing how this sport found a place in a region traditionally focused on rugby. The name itself reflects the arrival of this code to the area.
The ground is about 5 kilometers from the city center and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should note the venue has two separate entrances and is fully lit for evening events.
The western grandstand originally came from a major sports ground in Brisbane and was relocated here during a redevelopment in the mid-1990s. This reuse shows how sports venues adapt their physical structures over time.
