Middle 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, until the ground was demolished in 1994 as part of works for the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit. 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, Bob Jane Stadium, was completed on the site of the former Lakeside Oval.
