Updated Hours: Sunday 11 October (Melbourne Marathon)

HiTZ Junction Oval will open later than usual this Sunday 11 October, due to the Melbourne Marathon. We will open from 2pm  to let the event pass, and close at our regular time of 9pm.

Why the change

Thousands of runners will move through St Kilda and Albert Park on Sunday morning. Roads around Junction Oval will close or carry heavy traffic. A 2pm start gives you the best chance of getting to us without delays.

What this means for your booking

If you booked a session before 2pm on Sunday, our team will contact you to move it to a new time. If you have not booked yet, all lanes from 2pm are open now.

Getting here on the day

The area will stay busy into the afternoon. Before you travel, we recommend you:

➡️ Check the official Melbourne Marathon road closure map

➡️ Leave extra time for your trip

➡️ Consider the tram, a bike or walking if you live nearby

➡️ Expect limited parking around Junction Oval

Make the most of the afternoon

With daylight savings now in place, the sun stays up past 7.30pm. A late afternoon session gives you time to train and still enjoy the evening. Face pace, spin or swing on demand, set your bowler to the length you want to work on, and get your reps in before dinner.

Normal hours return

HiTZ Junction Oval returns to normal opening hours on Monday 12 October.
