University of Calgary Olympic Oval

On the campus of the University of Calgary in the west of the city is the Olympic Oval, the first covered 400 m speed-skating rink to be built in North America.

It was constructed for the 1988 Olympic Games held in Calgary. The Olympic Oval is still an important venue for athletes training and is used to hold competitions. It is used not only for skating but also for cycling and running. The facility is also open at specific times to the public for skating or running.
