Melbourne Park is best known for the Australian Open, which is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments held every January and draws massive crowds from around the world. Beyond tennis, the precinct hosts all kinds of sports, music, comedy and entertainment events throughout the year, with big names in both sports and live shows. Different arenas and courts inside the park can be set up for basketball, netball, concerts and other big-ticket events. The venue has seen crowd records broken and massive fan turnouts, especially during the Open’s festival-style atmosphere. It’s not unusual for big events to fill Rod Laver Arena, John Cain Arena or AAMI Park with tens of thousands of fans. And because the park supports flexible setup, it can handle everything from major international sports to local cultural events. This makes it one of Australia’s most versatile live-event destinations.
