Sydney Academy of Sport Athletics Track update

On 24 June 2025 the NSW Government announced that $6.7million has been allocated in the 25/26 NSW State Budget for a new synthetic athletics track at Sydney Academy of Sport.

The new track will feature a World Athletics compliant synthetic athletics track complete with a new asphalt subbase, a moisture resilient track surface, improved stormwater drainage and supporting infrastructure.

The Office of Sport will develop a construction timeline which outlines when works will commence and when the new track is expected to re-open.

While the new track is being constructed, the six-lane 400 metre grass athletics track on Oval 1 will remain open for use.  

The designated throwing and jump areas adjacent to the closed athletics track will remain open until further advised.  

For further information, including opening times and track availability, please see the Frequently Asked Questions. 

Located on the Northern Beaches, Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation is surrounded by natural bushland with magnificent views of Narrabeen Lake and providing facilities for a range of sporting groups from grass roots to professional training.

What our guests say

"The Academy of Sport was the ideal location for our annual team meeting and could not recommend them highly enough. The food was excellent and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of gourmet food available at this facility. By far the best value for money venue we have ever had."
