This is known as the "shade structure" at John Landy Athletic Field in Geelong. I just had to use the structure first as it is named after my dad.

Stuart Edward Robley, hereinafter known as "Dad" did not have a sporting background. His greatest achievement seems to have been catching crayfish from the Torquay Surf Boat in the years he was a surf lifesaver.
His family had a background of community involvement so when his only child, me, began competing in the newly formed Little Athletics movement in 1969 it was inevitable that he would became involved.
When I ceased involvement in 1975, he continued to help as meet manager. When this became too hard for him he retreated to the announcer's booth where he still volunteer's today
As well as on track involvement, he became involved in the administration of the centre - holding the positions of Secretary and President of the local Geelong Association and Treasurer of the Victorian Amateur Athletic Asociation.He is currently Secretary of the Landy Field Management Committee, a position he has held for 30 years
For his long hours of hard work he was awarded Life Membership of the Association and an Australian Centenary Medal.
The naming of the structure was passed by Geelong City Council on 13th April 2004
