Melbourne Park

Melbourne Park, on Olympic Boulevard beside the Yarra just east of the CBD, is one of the country's premier sports and entertainment precincts. Best known as the home of the Australian Open tennis Grand Slam, it's anchored by Rod Laver Arena and a cluster of major venues that host world-class sport, concerts and events year-round.

The appeal is that combination of iconic venues and big-event atmosphere: it's where tennis history is made each January, and where many of the world's biggest touring acts perform throughout the year. Set within Melbourne's great sports precinct, alongside the MCG and the parklands, it's a genuine landmark for sport and music fans alike.

With a 4.6 rating from nearly 8,000 reviews, it's a much-loved destination. Events, the tennis, concerts, tours and ticketing all vary entirely with what's on, and the big events sell out well ahead, so it's essential to check the current schedule and book directly before you plan your visit — and to allow time to enjoy the precinct and its riverside surrounds around whatever you're there to see.
