The Sportpark Hannover is located in the district of Calenberger Neustadt in the Lower Saxony state capital Hannover . With an area of approx. 45 hectares, the area around the Erika Fisch Stadium (better known as the multi- event facility), sports center (SLZ), stadium pool and park stage is the largest sports area in a large city in Germany.
In addition to national and state squad athletes, the stadium, performance center and swimming pool are also available to other competitive athletes, schools and, to a limited extent, other users. Since January 1, 2013, the city of Hanover has been charging fees for the use of the performance center and stadium for training groups. As part of the national competition of the Special Olympics 2016, modernization of the facility is planned.
Erika Fish Stadium
The all-around facility in the sports park was named in honor of the former Hanoverian three-time Olympic participant Erika Fisch in 2009 at the suggestion of the city sports association .
The illuminated system is equipped with:
- eight 400-meter circular tracks
- Lawn
- Long jump facility
- Pole vault
- Long throw system
- Shot put range
- small grandstand
In 2004 the facility was extensively and generously expanded and also reconstructed. A social building was erected, the grandstand renovated and provided with seats. Since 2013, concerts with an audience of 10,000 to 15,000 spectators have been taking place on the all-around facility, for which the neighboring park stage is too small and the HDI arena too big.
Sports performance center
The Sports Center (SLZ) Hannover has existed since 1976 and is now part of the Lower Saxony Olympic base . The athletics hall is equipped with a retractable 200-meter circular track as well as facilities for the entire throw / push and jump disciplines. The 120 m long sprint hall has a modern light barrier system with an automatic start and fully electronic time measurement for high-performance sports. The sports hall can be divided into four segments so that optimal training conditions can be created even in the cold season.
A six-kilometer-long, illuminated circular running route not only offers competitive athletes ideal training opportunities, but is also used by numerous hobby runners, inline skaters and cyclists due to its location on the Maschsee as a recreational area close to the center.
An equipment gym, a floor gym and a dōjō ( federal base ) as well as two weight rooms as well as rooms for the full-time trainers and offices of the Olympic base Lower Saxony (OSP) are located in the building.
In 2004 the building became an Olympic base and was expanded to include a 405 m² sports hall and an administration wing. The latest innovation was the establishment of an altitude training room . The sports center (SLZ) is also equipped with a 50-meter swimming pool and a federal base for water polo .
The center is financed to one third each by the federal government, the state and the state capital Hanover.
Stadium pool
The stadium pool was opened in 1972 and has a large grandstand for swimming competitions. It is not only reserved for competitive athletes, but is open to the public.
The swimming facility is equipped with a swimmer's pool measuring 50 × 21 meters with a divisible diving pool: 1-meter and 3-meter boards, 5-meter, 7.5-meter and 10-meter diving boards. A 26 × 12.75 meter non-swimmer pool with a small slide, massage jets and water mushroom as well as a paddling pool with a water-spouting clown. In addition to sanitary facilities and feel-good areas, a sunbathing lawn with a play city is available in summer.
Park stage Hanover
The sports park has also had a stage for outdoor events since 2002, which has been called the Hanover Park stage since January 1, 2010 . Music performances, film screenings on a large screen and public viewing of live broadcasts take place here.
The neighboring Erika Fisch Stadium has been used since 2013 for events with around 10,000 to 13,000 visitors. Large concerts in the sports park should remain the exception.
