The State Hockey Centre, set in South Australia’s State Sports Park, is a field hockey stadium in Gepps Cross, Adelaide, Australia and offers a pitch used for both competition and training activities, complemented by amenities. The stadium, which has fixed seating capacity of 400 and room for a further 4,000 temporary seats,[2] is home to Hockey SA, the peak body for hockey in South Australia and to both Adelaide based teams in the Australian Hockey League, the men's SA Hotshots (formerly the Southern Hotshots) since 1991 and the women's SA Suns (formerly the Southern Suns) since 1993. The stadium is also home to Forestville Hockey Club since 1994, and was opened in a ceremony by then Australian representative Paul Lewis, another Forestville Hockey Club player.

The venue, also known by its original name of The Pines Stadium, was also home to South Australian Gridiron Association from 1997 until 2009.

The venue's lighting was upgraded in 2013, and a second pitch was constructed costing $3.31 million.[3]
