This is a new Cross Country Venue, as its name suggests it has been there for a while, however it has lacked facilities. Early August saw the completion of necessary facilities required to hold our function - thus the late announcement

Although the community Picnic area at Auburn was more self-contained, the venue had become too costly to hire.

Heritage Park offers a number of things – the park is situated close to The Cherrybrook Athletic Club, this completes the spreading out of West Met Venues into West Met Clubs home areas, allows our younger Athletes to touch the past, so its a educational site.

Of cause a cross-country venue has to allow the course designer to develop a run that is challenging, free flowing and has pleasant surrounds, Heritage Park does – We hope you enjoy this venue.

SUMMER – ZONE TRACK & FIELD COMPETITIONS

Zone competitions are ideal way to try out Track & Field events; they offer sprints, distance, throws and jumps, be it into the sand pit or on to a bed of soft bags.

You don’t have to be skilled as other competitors will show you how in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Some of us have been competing for years and just like the companionship.

We also welcome the younger athlete coming from Little A’s looking for a transition into the senior ranks. Our age groups are from Under 14 on, we have many in there 50’s and be on.

Point scores are conducted where you accumulate points in the events you take part in, the more events the more points or just sit back with a cup of coffee or cool drink after your event and relax, all tracks have good under shade cover areas and seating.
