Our Sponsors
Our History & Mission
Our Centre began in 1976, with foundation members who included RAAF personnel from No. 77 Squadron at Williamtown and David and Ken Marsh, John Green and Dave Davies.
Our strong connection with 77 Squadron has been retained through our adoption of their colours of green and black, our Centre Number 77, and the distinctive “Grumpy Monkey” logo. The Squadron’s affectionate nickname represents the Oriental Temple Lion, which dates back to the Korean War. It symbolises a protector of peace — calm and watchful, but fierce and swift when threatened.
Our primary aim is to bring athletes and their families together through outdoor physical activity, participation and family involvement. At least one parent from each family is encouraged to actively assist each week, helping create a strong sense of community and shared ownership of the Centre.
We provide competition for athletes from 6’s through to Masters, welcoming participants of all abilities, from beginners through to athletes achieving at National and Paralympic levels. Our emphasis is on “Run for Fun” and encouraging athletes to improve their own performances, while providing opportunities for those who wish to progress to Zone, Regional, State, National and International competition.
Our facilities include a 9-lane 400m circular track and a 10-lane 110m inside track, both considered among the best grass tracks in the Region. We also have two double synthetic run-ups for long and triple jump, three shot put and discus pads, and are fortunate to have a qualified and experienced Level 3 Throws Coach.
Our mission is to provide an inclusive, welcoming pathway for athletes of all ages and abilities, encouraging participation, developing skills, building confidence and community connection, and supporting athletes to achieve their full potential.
