Lark Hill Sports Complex is a multi-purpose sporting and recreation reserve at Lark Hill in Port Kennedy, Western Australia. It is located on 270 hectares of land approximately 60 km south of Perth, and is owned by the City of Rockingham.[1] Stage one of the development costing $24 million was officially opened in 2008.[1][2]
Lark Hill currently provides sporting facilities for Rugby union, Rugby league, touch football, soccer, softball and cricket. There is also a synthetic field hockey pitch.[1] The complex has lighting suitable for hosting night time events on all sporting fields, multiple changing room facilities, and grandstands for spectator sports events.
It was one of the home grounds for the Perth Spirit team in the National Rugby Championship in 2014.[3][4]
