Located on Lord Street at the northwest corner of Bulwer Street. Perth Oval (Loton Park) opened in 1910. Screenings started there in February 1912, at first in the south-east corner of the oval, then in the north-west corner, with patrons sitting in the grandstand, in summer only. Screenings ceased in 1924, when the Premier Theatre and Gardens opened nearby.

Perth Oval (now also called NIB Stadium) is used for the Perth Glory soccer team in the A-league competition, and Western Glory in the Super Rugby competition(rugby Union), and some concerts. Films are no longer screened there - Notes by David Coppock.
