Campbelltown Athletics Centre is usually booked out in Term 2 and Term 3 of the school calendar so therefore wet weather back up dates can not be booked.

Campbelltown Athletics Centre comprises an international standard all weather synthetic athletics track. It also has under cover spectators seating for 850 spectators.

• There is no reason other than for participant and official comfort that a carnival needs to be cancelled due to wet weather.

At times the ground staff may close grassed in-field area for throwing events or tabloid activities if it is deemed unsafe or susceptible to damage but this would only occur in situations of continual heavy rain and/or flooding.
