Derby Arena infield activities 

Currently there are no infield activities taking place at Derby Arena, as we have utilised the closure and part opening due to Covid 19 pandemic to re-prioritise plans to upgrade the infield floor. Works are well under way and we anticipated for the upgrade to be completed end of October.

The venue will continue to be guided by the government and national governing bodies for sport in its decision making process for activities and sport to return to the venue. 

Indoor sports courts for badminton are available at Springwood Leisure Centre. 

We are pleased to confirm that Derby Active Leisure facilities will re-open on Sat 25 July, including Derby Arena, Springwood Leisure Centre and Queen’s Leisure Centre. Moorways Stadium has already opened for outdoor track and field activities. 

The team at Derby Active are currently putting the finishing touches in place ready to re-open. 

It will be a phased re-opening, with dates yet to be confirmed for certain sports like gymnastics coaching, and indoor track cycling at Derby Arena.
