A great venue to watch most sports (a little to far away for soccer) and very easy to access from Southern Cross train station just a short walk away

We travelled by ferry from Docklands to Portarlington mid week. A smooth ride over a calm bay set us down in the pretty town of Portarlington where there are a range of shops and eateries as well as walking tracks to neighbouring towns. Ferry staff were most welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this trip.

What is referred to as "Docklands Stadium" has never actually been known by that name, always by the name of the naming sponsor, which is now the Marvel group. The stadium can hold 56,000 spectators. It's a good size for football and soccer, and events such as the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

My son and I go skating at O'Brien Icehouse once or twice a week. He is taking ice hockey lessons, and we also enjoy the public skating, and freestyle skate lessons. It's always good fun, and the staff are very friendly, expert, and helpful.
