Hoyts Hurlstone Park Theatre 686 New Canterbury Road, Sydney, NSW

In September 1938, Hoyts purchased the freehold on the building and began an extensive re-modeling, in an Art Deco style. Hoyts Hurlstone Park Theatre was re-opened on 2nd September 1939 with Adolph Menjou in “King of the Turf” and seating for 1,722.

Hoyts Hurlstone Park Theatre was closed on 1st October 1960. It was converted into an ice skating venue, known as the Ice Palais. In 1966, it became an auction house for Associated Auctioneers and they remained in the building until 1968, when they moved to the former Hoyts Theatre at Balmain.

The empty Hurlstone Park Theatre was severely damaged by a fire on 16th October 1971, and it was subsequently demolished. An apartment block with retail units has been built on the site.
