About St George Little Athletics Centre
Origins and Founding
St George Little Athletics Centre was founded at a public meeting held at Kogarah Council Chambers in December 1971, chaired by Kogarah Mayor Ald Frank Baker. A steering committee was elected that evening, with David Dickinson as chairman, Fred Scott as secretary, and Jean Thornthwaite as treasurer. Two registration days at Bell Park, South Hurstville in January 1972 attracted 98 registrations, and the first competition was held at Carss Park in early 1972. According to the club's own history, despite the challenging conditions, St George athletes won two gold medals, two silver medals, and two bronze medals at that first State Championships, along with a first place in the 4x100m relay.

Club History
After competing at Carss Park in 1972, the centre moved to Evatt Park at Lugarno for the 1972-73 season, where it hosted Sunday afternoon competitions for several years. A brief move to Jubilee Oval in 1978-79 was followed by a permanent shift to Olds Park, Penshurst, in 1979/80, which has been the club's home ever since. The centre is a dual affiliate of Little Athletics NSW (LANSW) and Athletics NSW (ANSW), meaning athletes can compete in all LANSW and ANSW carnivals without needing to join a second club. The program advances athletes from local weekly competitions through to State and National titles for older age groups.

Home Ground
The club competes at Olds Park, Forest Road, Penshurst, a facility maintained to a high standard by Georges River Council. The venue features a 400m track, a 110m track, four rubber-surfaced long and triple jump runways, a javelin runup, three shot put rings, three discus rings, four high jump stations, and a dedicated 50m Tiny Tot track. Track events use electronic starting and timing systems, and the grounds are among the premier athletics facilities in Sydney's south.

Programs and Community
The centre welcomes children and youths aged 4 to 16, with Tiny Tots (aged 4-5) meeting on Wednesday evenings and older age groups competing on Friday evenings from mid-September to mid-March each year. The program emphasises self-improvement over winning, with athletes able to track their results online each week. Representatives from St George LAC have gone on to compete at Inter-club Championships, State, and National levels across both Little Athletics and senior athletics competitions.

Penshurst and the St George Area
Penshurst is a residential suburb in the St George region of Sydney, located 16 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD within the Georges River Council local government area. The suburb recorded a population of 12,592 at the 2021 census, and the broader Georges River Council area had over 152,000 residents, noted for its significant cultural diversity with more than half of residents born overseas. The St George area is a well-established part of southern Sydney with strong community sporting traditions.
St George Little Athletics Centre competes under Little Athletics NSW and calls Olds Park, Penshurst home.
