An all-seated stadium with one open end giving stunning views of Brisbane Water through palm trees, make Bluetongue one of the most picturesque stadiums in Australia.

Built on the site of a Grahame Park, a sporting complex, with tennis courts, a cricket pit and bowling greens, the stadium was designed and built as a home for the now defunct Northern Eagles Rugby League side (a merging between the North Sydney Bears and Manly Sea Eagles). In 2002 the partnership broke down with only Manly surviving the breakdown. The decision was then taken to relocate Manly’s games, due to the decline of attendances.

The stadium, which holds 20,119, was completed in 2000 after weather had delayed its construction, as a result no longer has a Rugby league tenant. The stadium is home to A-League football side Central Coast Mariners and also hosted three games at the Rugby Union World Cup.
