Pizzey Park

Pizzey Park is an open-air sports and recreation precinct in Miami, a suburb in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The 60 ha site is owned and operated by the Gold Coast City Council.

History
The Pizzey Park sporting complex was established on a 60 ha site in 1969. It was named after the former Queensland Premier Jack Pizzey. It was previously a garbage dump.

The Australian Institute of Sport established their training facilities for canoe/kayak at Pizzey Park in June 1991 at a cost of $500,000. The park was expanded to accommodate this additional facility, extending westward into the neighbouring suburb of Mermaid Waters.

Facilities
Pizzey Park has sports fields for a wide variety of sports including: rugby league, rugby union, Australian Rules Football, soccer, netball, softball and athletics.

Skateboard and BMX facilities are available. The site also provides a network of tracks for walking, jogging and cycling, around a number of lakes as well as an off-leash dog park.

The site includes the Miami Aquatic Centre featuring two outdoor heated 50 m swimming pools and one indoor 15 m teaching pool.
