John L. Davenport Track

The IAAF-certified 400m eight-lane track has been tested by some of the world's top athletes. The jumping facilities, including the pole vault and long, high and triple jumping areas, are made of a completely water-permeable system that translates into few interruptions to training and competition.  

Stadium Seating
The stadium provides permanent seating for 5,000 spectators, with ample wheelchair accessibility on two levels. The seating is raised one metre above the playing field to provide excellent sightlines throughout the stadium. An elevator provides access to the media gondola and to wheelchair-accessible seating overlooking the field.

Lighting
Reflective of Varsity Centre’s versatility, the flexible lighting system is designed to accommodate a range of activities, from night time jogging to high profile, televised events. Individual programmable controls mean lighting can be tailored to event requirements, keeping energy consumption down and limiting the amount of light that spills into the surrounding neighbourhood and into the night sky.

Photo-timing
An eight-lane photo-timed system specifically designed for track and field will ensure IAAF-caliber timing. Designed with the latest technology and used at major athletic events around the world, the system is of the highest standard of digital photo-timing in the world.
