Stadium
Main article(s): Wellington Square, Perth, Perry Lakes Stadium, Litis Stadium
Athena's first home was at Wellington Square in East Perth. The club later played at Perry Lakes Stadium in Floreat, leading to the addition of Floreat to the club's name.
The club has played at Litis Stadium, formerly the Lake Monger Velodrome, in Mount Hawthorn since 1985. There are two grandstands, the Eleni grandstand and a more modern stand in front of the clubrooms which was built 20 years ago. A cycling tunnel has been left intact for players to use to and from the change rooms and is a feature of the ground. The tunnel was named after two famous Athena players: Stan Lazaridis and Vas Kalogeracos.
