Over 1 million people visit Melbourne Park every year, to play - and learn to play - tennis, to attend a convention, to catch their favourite international star in concert, or attend the netball or basketball. Home of the Australian Open, the venue was completed in 1988 at a cost of $94 million and underwent significant expansion in 1995.
