  • Track Information

    The Harold Stevens Athletics Track is located in Coburg in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

    The venue was opened on 21 March 1971. A polyurethane track was laid in 1998 and last resurfaced in 2013.

    The track is named after Athletics Victoria life member Harold Stevens.

    The track has short straights approximately 78m long, with long bends. As a dedicated athletics venue, the long jump pits are located on the inside of the track, along with facilities for pole vault, hammer, discus, shot and javelin.

    The venue can be hired via the Coburg Athletics Ground Management Committee.

    In 2025 the Merri-bek Council announced plans to remove the track and replace it with a grass multi-sport field, leading to significant community backlash.

      We love this Track! We have been attending little aths at Harold Stevens for years now and Saturday mornings in summer wouldn’t be the same without the little athletics meets. We hope to see it upgraded so that we can host larger and more prestigious events.
