The track facilities include:
 * 200m, 4 lane banked track

The athletic center opened in January 2011 by First Minister Carwyn Jones and Wales football manager Gary Speed, with a Sport and Exercise Medicine Centre that provides facilities for students, athletes and the wider public. There are sports medicine and physiotherapy professionals located on-site with services available to performance level athletes and the general public. The sports medicine practitioners work with athletes and players to identify potential injury risk, in order to prevent injuries from occurring. The centre also has sports psychologists, offering a range of individual or group sessions to help athletes enhance performance.
