Rod Laver Arena (Melbourne, Australia)

Rod Laver Arena: Home of Melbourne’s Best Sports and Entertainment Events

Once known as Central Court and the National Tennis Centre at Flinders Park, Rod Laver Arena was renamed in 2000 after Rod Laver, one of the world’s best tennis players. This iconic venue is located in Melbourne Park. The arena has been recently renovated in 2018 with the aid of Tennis Australia and can now be easily recognised by its modern and even futuristic-looking facade. The organisation is also working on the redevelopment of the rest of Melbourne Park.

Today, Rod Laver Arena is best recognised for being the home of the Australian Open, the first of four Grand Slam tennis events of the year. It has been held here annually since 1988. However, the arena has also hosted basketball games, motorbike events, wrestling, ballet, and concerts.
