Melbourne HakoahMiddle Park was a Football (soccer) venue located in Middle Park, Victoria, Australia. Built in 1959, it was used by South Melbourne FC as a home ground from their inception in 1959, as well as Melbourne Hakoah, until the ground was demolished in 1994 as part of works for the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit[1]. The ground held approximately 18,000 people, and consisted of a main stand with a capacity of 2,000, with open terracing around the rest of the ground. South Melbourne temporarily moved to Olympic Park Stadium until a new purpose built facility, Lakeside Stadium, was completed on the site of the former Lake Oval[2].
