The Te Awamutu Stadium situated on Armstrong Avenue hosts a range of athletic events throughout the year.
It also boasts an excellent velodrome and is home to cycling in Te Awamutu.
The outdoor velodrome has an asphalt surface and is 469m long. There are lights for night use.
World champion coach Brendon Cameron is one of the latest inductees to the Te Awamutu Walk of Fame.
Mr Cameron has forged an outstanding cycling record, winning numerous New Zealand junior and senior titles, representing New Zealand at two Commonwealth and two Olympic Games, and is now an elite coach of World and Olympic Champion Sarah Ulmer. He is one of the first successful cyclists from the new Te Awamutu Velodrome building in 1983, the youngster who came down to the Velodrome and timed cyclists with his watch, then returned later on his non-competitive bike and would try and beat these times when nobody was there.
