Sports Venues Kyiv: New Courts & Tracks 2024

Kyiv completed upgrades to three sports complexes this month, adding indoor courts and resurfaced outdoor tracks at facilities in the Pecherskyi and Obolon districts.

Recent Additions on Peremohy Avenue and Near Hydropark

The NSC Olimpiyskiy stadium now includes two new multi-purpose halls equipped for volleyball and basketball, while the Obolon Arena received a full rubberized running track and additional changing rooms. Both sites sit within walking distance of major metro stops, allowing clubs from nearby neighbourhoods to schedule sessions without long travel. City records show the Obolon project replaced a worn asphalt surface laid in 2014, cutting injury reports from local track groups by half in the first month of use.

These changes follow a winter decision by the Kyiv City Sports Department to redirect part of its annual maintenance fund toward infrastructure rather than events alone. The department oversees more than 120 public venues and has reported steady growth in registered participants since 2023, when it launched the Kyiv Youth Sports Passport program that subsidises fees for children aged eight to sixteen.

Numbers Behind the Construction Timeline

Construction contracts list total spending at 87 million hryvnia, with 42 million allocated to the NSC Olimpiyskiy work and 31 million to Obolon. The remaining funds covered lighting upgrades at a smaller ground in Darnytskyi district completed on 28 June. Attendance data from the first week of July shows 1,850 users across the three sites, up 28 percent from the same period last year. Daily rental rates for the new halls start at 1,200 hryvnia for club sessions after 6 pm.

Clubs can now book slots through the department’s online portal or by visiting the venue offices on weekdays before 4 pm. Updated schedules appear on the Kyiv Sports Department website each Monday, and printed copies are available at the main entrances of both the NSC Olimpiyskiy and Obolon Arena.
