Synthetic athletics track closure

Sydney Academy of Sport's synthetic athletic track is closed due to damage to the track surface which made it unsafe for use.

The Office of Sport investigated the cause of the damage and is investigating options to repair and reopen the track, including the costs, risks, benefits and feasibility of each option.

The Office of Sport’s priority is providing the athletics community with a safe and accessible track that is not impacted by floodwater and inundation.

A temporary six-lane 400 metre grass athletics track is available on Oval 1 for Little Athletics clubs and school sports carnivals, user groups and casual visitors.  

The designated throwing and jump areas adjacent to the closed athletics track remain open for use. 

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."
