The Omnisport Apeldoorn is a multi-purpose hall with a cycling track in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn .
history
The Omnisport Apeldoorn was opened in 2008 and consists of two halls. In the hall with the 250-meter cycling track there is also an athletics facility for indoor competitions with a 200-meter long running track. There is space for 5000 spectators. The smaller hall for 2000 spectators is primarily intended for volleyball . There is also an ice rink next to the halls . The Omnisport is home to one of three indoor cycling tracks in the Netherlands, in addition to the Velodrome Amsterdam and the Sportpaleis Alkmaar .
In October 2015, the Omnisport cycling track had to be closed for the second time within a year because the track's wooden surface splintered and the racers could have been injured if they fell. The Dutch national railway team, which was successful at the UEC European Railway Championships in 2015, had to move to another training facility in preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . Refurbishment lasted until autumn 2016 and cost around 900,000 euros.
