About
The crown jewel of Richmond, and former home to the long track speed skating during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Now a multisport venue, the Oval has a proven record hosting exciting sporting events across all age groups and skill levels. Nothing makes a world-class experience more than playing under the Olympic rings.
The facility boasts over 150,000 square feet of activity and sport space, featuring two international-size ice rinks, six hardwood courts, competition-standard climbing wall, a table tennis centre of excellence, a multisport court for gymnastics and other athletic activities, and a 50,000 square
foot track zone featuring a 200m indoor running track with a multisport composite court area within. You name it, the Richmond Olympic Oval has hosted it all – volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, track & field, speed skating, hockey, indoor soccer, martial arts, badminton, handball and more!
Recreational amenities also include the indoor rowing and paddling centre, a 23,000 sq ft fitness facility, batting cages, and the Richmond Olympic Oval is home to the Richmond Olympic Experience – Canada’s first Olympic Museum. The venue is easily accessible via transit, is wheelchair accessible, and offers covered onsite parking options.
