About The Ellinikon Sports Park
Part of the great new park on the old airport, The Ellinikon Sports Park spreads over 287,000 m², 115,000 m² of it green open space. There are FIFA-certified football pitches in natural and artificial turf, a tartan athletics track certified by World Athletics, and high-specification courts that visitors can book and use. It opens daily from 8am to midnight, 362 days a year; some organised programmes and events need registration or a fee. Our advice: come for an early-evening run or a game under the floodlights, then walk on to the Experience Park.
