In May 2019 the West Lakes and Districts Little Athletics Centre and the Port Adelaide Athletics Club merged to form one club called the Port Adelaide Athletics Club Incorporated.

Formed in 1870 as the Port Adelaide Suburban Amateur Athletic Club, the club has catered for amateurs and professional athletes throughout its history. The club has produced State, National and International champions over a long period. West Lakes and Districts Little Athletics Centre  (WLDLAC) was formerly Westport Little Athletics Centre which was started after the Port Adelaide Little Athletics Centre closed. 

We are the first club to establish an Aboriginal Squad which introduces athletics as a sport of choice for their community.

An Active for Life program began in 2004 is held twice weekly, which has introduced a large number of mature aged people to the club. We also welcome Recreational members who use the gym 12 months of the year.

Our Club also hosts school sports days, Port SAPSASA district day and an annual SA Athletic League Carnival.
