Henson Park

Henson Park is a historic sports stadium that was built in 1933 on the site of a former brickyard. With a capacity of 30,000 spectators, this unique facility is home to the Newtown Jets rugby club and an arena for Australian soccer matches.

The stadium has a fascinating history - during the Great Depression its construction provided jobs for hundreds of unemployed people, and in 1938 it hosted cycling competitions and the closing ceremony of the British Empire Games.

For lovers of sports and local history, it's a place of extraordinary character, combining sporting excitement with a rich past.
