The Adelaide Super-Drome, located in South Australia’s State Sports Park, is a velodrome in Adelaide, South Australia.

The Super-Drome is the headquarters for the Australian Institute of Sport’s Track Cycling Program due to its fully accredited international-standard training and competition. The Adelaide track was designed and its construction supervised by track specialist Ron Webb. The track is 250m long, softwood and has 43° banking.
