Where Talent Meets the Track in the Heart of the Southwest
Based at the historic Brickfields Complex which has recently rebranded as Foulston Park, in Devonport, the City of Plymouth Athletic Club is the premier destination for athletes of all ages and abilities. From the first steps of a five-year-old to the seasoned strides of our veterans, we provide a supportive environment to run, jump, and throw.
