Argyll Velodrome

The Argyll Velodrome, located in south-central Edmonton, was constructed in 1977 by the City of Edmonton as a primary site for competitive cycling during the 1978 Commonwealth Games.

The velodrome is one of about twenty-five velodrome tracks in North America. In Canada there are seven tracks; Dieppe New Brunswick, University of Laval, Laval Quebec, Bromont Quebec, Calgary Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Burnaby British Columbia and Victoria British Columbia. Edmonton, Burnaby, Victoria, Calgary and Bromont are sanctioned for International events.

The Argyll Velodrome is a 333 1/3 meter x 7 meter wide, 33 degree banked concrete surfaced track situated in the beautiful Edmonton river valley Argyll Park.
