The Oval (sometimes referred to as the Bebington Oval and Port Sunlight) is a Municipal athletics stadium in Bebington, Merseyside and leisure centre with outdoor ski slope.[1]

The venue has played host to Tranmere Rovers F.C. reserve and ladies teams. The track is regularly used by Wirral AC and Warriors Pentathlon & AC and many competitions such as the Merseyside Championships take place here.

The ground has an eight-lane running track which was originally paid for by Lever Brothers in the 1920s but has since undergone an upgrade. It is the home to a number athletics clubs.

It was featured in the film Chariots of Fire and represented the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir.[2]

Some schools across the area, such as St John Plessington, use the facilities for their PE lessons
