It was formerly home to the [[Briggs Track Classic]], the Tasmanian round of the [[Australian Athletics Tour]]. The stadium hosted the [[Australian Athletics Championships]] upon its opening in 1977 and is the foremost venue for athletics in Tasmania.<ref>[https://tracks.insideathletics.com.au/track/hobart/domain-athletic-centre/ Domain Athletic Centre]. Inside Athletics. Retrieved 19 April 2021.</ref>

The centre has one major covered [[grandstand]] with seating, changerooms, public toilets, and a kiosk. It features low-grade lighting suitable for evening training, but not quite up to match standards. There is a carpark with 250 spaces.

It is an Olympic Standard 400 metre oval track with 8 lanes, as well as a 10 lane straight section for 100 metre [[Sprint (running)|sprinting]], and 100 metre [[hurdles|hurdle]] races. It also features a steeplechase lane with waterpit, and lanes for [[long jump]], [[pole vault]] and dedicated areas for [[high jump]], [[discus]] and [[hammer throwing]] and the [[Javelin throw|javelin]].

The interior of the track is grass, and is regularly used to host football matches for both local schools and [[Football Federation Tasmania]] league Association Football (soccer) matches.
