Neils Hansen Stadium, Sports stadium in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia
Niels Hansen Stadium is a basketball facility in Kalgoorlie that contains three indoor courts, with the main court seating around 1,200 spectators. The venue serves both competitive matches and regular training activities, operating continuously throughout the year.
The facility was built in 1979 and represents the last basketball-only venue constructed in Western Australia before multi-purpose sports complexes became the norm. Its completion marked the end of an era in regional sporting infrastructure design.
This facility serves as home to the Goldfields Giants basketball team and anchors sports activity in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder region. It functions as a gathering place where local athletes and fans connect through regular matches and competitions.
The stadium is conveniently located in central Kalgoorlie and is accessible by car or public transport. Most basketball games occur between March and August during the main season, so plan your visit accordingly if you want to catch a match.
In 2004, the stadium hosted a National Basketball League regular season game between the Perth Wildcats and Hunter Pirates, bringing professional basketball to regional Western Australia. This moment remains a highlight in the venue's history.
