Leichhardt Oval is home of NRL club Wests Tigers who also play half their home games at Campbelltown Stadium. The venue is the original home of the Balmain Tigers before the merger took place.
Leichhardt Oval has a main grandstand with two levels on the main side, a large grass hill with a limited number of seats on the outer side. Seats and standing room at one end, and two small grandstands at the other end. These small grandstands are all what remain of the ground when it used to be a oval field running East to West. The ground was then redeveloped in the 1970's and converted into a rectangular field running North to South. These two old stands are currently closed to the public due to a termite problem. Their significance is the subject of a local heritage debate as the council figures out what to do about the problem.
