Linkbelt Oval, Sports stadium in Aiwo District, Nauru.
Linkbelt Oval is a sports stadium in the western part of Nauru with a grass field and concrete stands. The venue accommodates approximately 3000 spectators and hosts district-level competitions throughout the year.
The stadium was built in 1924 by the Nauru Phosphate Corporation as part of efforts to develop sports facilities for the local population. This early investment in sports infrastructure shaped the island's sporting development.
The venue brings together athletes from the region for regular competitions in Australian rules football and track events. Local sports organizations use the grounds to host matches that draw spectators from across the district.
The grounds are accessible during the day for sports events and offer adequate space for watching from the concrete stands. Visitors should prepare for sunny weather and bring water, as there is little shade available.
The grass field maintains its natural characteristics without modern artificial treatments, giving the playing surface its own character. This natural turf creates different playing conditions compared to modern stadiums elsewhere.
