Sportpark Ost, an extensive sports project, has been officially unveiled in Regensburg.
Ost Sports Park Regensburg: A New Hub for Athletics and Aquatic Sports
The city of Regensburg has a new addition to its sports landscape with the opening of the Ost Sports Park on July 28, 2025. Located on the former Prinz-Leopold Kaserne site, this state-of-the-art sports complex offers advanced facilities for professional training, competition, and recreation [1][2].
Key Features
The Ost Sports Park boasts several notable features, including:
- A modern indoor swimming pool, designed to support a variety of aquatic sports
- The city's first indoor athletics hall, enabling year-round training and events
- Facilities tailored to accommodate school sports programs, clubs, and community use
- A focus on sustainability and modern architectural standards, reflecting contemporary design and ecological considerations [1]
Enhancing Regensburg's Sports Landscape
The Ost Sports Park strengthens Regensburg's position as a regional hub for diverse sports activities. It complements existing sports infrastructure such as the football ground for SSV Jahn Regensburg, the EV Regensburg ice hockey club, and the well-known Regensburg Legionäre baseball team that plays at Germany's largest baseball stadium [3][4].
The new complex supports athletic development across a range of disciplines, potentially boosting local sports performance and community engagement. It also enhances opportunities for schools and grassroots sports organizations by offering professional conditions previously unavailable in the city [2].
Sustainable Design
The Ost Sports Park is committed to sustainability. A 20 cubic meter rainwater cistern collects rainwater for irrigating the facade greenery and sports lawns. The seasonal peaks in consumption are covered by a wood chip heating system. The facility generates energy for heating CO-neutrally through collector fields and a 500 cubic meter buffer storage tank [1].
Intelligent lighting planning brings as much daylight as possible into the interior spaces, resulting in direct electricity savings. Electricity is generated directly on the hall roofs [1].
Upcoming Events
The grand opening of the swimming pool is on July 29, and the athletics training hall will follow on August 4. A large open day with family attractions will take place on August 3 [1].
In conclusion, the Ost Sports Park is a landmark project that significantly upgrades Regensburg’s sports infrastructure, promoting athletic development, community participation, and sustainable design within the city’s sports ecosystem [1][2].
