The Stuart Storey Athletics Track - History
Stuart Storey has always been passionate about athletics, and when Wodson Park Sports and Leisure Centre was being developed he was determined to ensure that Ware acquired a first class facility to encourage and promote track and field events.
The Stuart Storey Athletics Track was opened by Sebastian Coe (now Lord Coe) in July 1996.
The track and field facilities are used extensively by local schools and colleges for training and competition.
The Stuart Storey Athletics Track is also the home track of the Herts Phoenix Athletic Club and regularly hosts County-standard meets.
