What's happening to our Stadium?
Palmer Park Leisure Centre is taking a bold step forward in athletic excellence with the installation of the Polytan Rekortan PUR system—a cutting-edge track surface designed for speed, durability, and elite performance.
The Rekortan PUR system is a solid synthetic surface, engineered to provide optimal conditions for professional athletes and ambitious amateurs alike. Its high-performance polyurethane composition ensures a seamless, spike-resistant finish, delivering superior energy return and shock absorption. This means runners can push their limits while minimizing strain on their joints.
Beyond performance, the Rekortan PUR system is built with sustainability in mind. Polytan’s commitment to Green Technology ensures that the materials used are environmentally friendly, contributing to a climate-positive approach to sports infrastructure.
Adding to this innovation, Palmer Park will also feature Polytan SMART technology—an advanced system that integrates precision timing gates directly into the track surface. This intelligent tracking system allows athletes to monitor their performance in real time, providing accurate diagnostics without the need for complex setups. Whether measuring sprint times or refining training techniques, Polytan SMART ensures data-driven improvements for athletes at all levels.
As part of its wider commitment to sports excellence, Palmer Park Leisure Centre is also undergoing upgrades to its velodrome, with the track lines being repainted. This refurbishment will enhance visibility and precision for cyclists, ensuring they have a world-class surface for training and competition.
Palmer Park’s investment in these facilities reaffirms its dedication to fostering athletic talent and community engagement. Whether hosting competitive events, supporting local runners, or providing a premier cycling venue, these upgrades will provide a first-class training environment for years to come.
With the Polytan Rekortan PUR system, SMART technology, and velodrome improvements, Palmer Park Leisure Centre is setting the stage for record-breaking performances and an enhanced sporting experience.
