sports facilities

Where games happen

Sports facilities are venues designed and equipped for athletic activities—stadiums, arenas, gymnasiums, swimming pools, tennis courts, and the like.

The term appears most often in planning and institutional contexts: The university is investing in new sports facilities.

A single location may be called a sports facility or, more naturally, by its specific type.
