Lark Hill Sports Complex is a multi-purpose sporting and recreation reserve at Lark Hill in Port Kennedy, Western Australia. It is located on 270 hectares of land approximately 60 km south of Perth, and is owned by the City of Rockingham.[1] Stage one of the development costing $24 million was officially opened in 2008.[1][2]
