Cooks Gardens Events Centre - Available Spaces
Peter Snell Lounge
A spacious lounge named after one of history’s running greats, the large windows offer magnificent views of the stadium and wider city. This room can seat up to 100 theatre style, with options to utilise the built in sound system, TV screen, or bar.
Cooks Room
Offering equally splendid views over the athletics track, the Cooks Room provides the opportunity to host smaller meetings, and workshops for up to 20 patrons.
It can be combined with the Peter Snell Lounge to accommodate larger groups, or be used as a private break out space.
Corporate Boxes
Overlooking the athletics track, the Corporate Boxes provide ideal options for smaller meetings, workshops, interviews or V.I.P viewing at Sports Events for up to 15 people.
There are access points from each Corporate Box out to the tiered Stadium seating.
Kitchen & Bar
There is a fully operational Kitchen and Bar with walk-in chiller space ensuring all your food and beverage requirements can be met.
The kitchen comes as part of the venue hire when booking the venue, or can be hired seperately. There is space in the courtyard to park an additional chiller trailer if required.
Media Room
Located at the west end of the grandstand is the purpose built Media Room. This is the ideal space for commentators and media to set up when the field is in use for sporting events, or the perfect home as an event team base.
The outdoor PA and sound system are located here, as well as the score board operation panel.
