Tom Kelly Athletics Track

Tom Kelly Athletics Track is the only athletics facility in Manningham. As well as serving local residents through the junior and senior club structure, it also services schools within and outside of Manningham.

Tom Kelly Athletics Track Usage Plan

As part of our ongoing commitment to making sporting facilities more accessible we have reviewed the way in which the community use the Tom Kelly Athletics Track. We spoke to many users of the Athletics Track through our onsite consultation sessions and online survey.

After hearing your ideas, we developed the Tom Kelly Athletics Track Usage Plan.

The Plan was endorsed at the 31 October Council Meeting and implementation of the Plan is now underway.

There is no public access to Tom Kelly Athletics Precinct, including toilets, during club/casual allocations.
