Formerly known as “Rodriguez Sports Center”, it was inaugurated in 1969 in time for that year’s “interscholastic meet”. In 1995, the Marikina Government bought the sports center from the provincial government of Rizal and renamed it “Marikina Sports Park”.
It has an Olympic-size oval and swimming pool. It also has areas for biking, boxing, tennis, table tennis, soccer, football, long jump, taekwondo, and aerobics. The grandstand can accommodate 15,000 people.
The Marikina Sports park has also been the venue for big events such as the 23rd South East Asian Games, Star Struck, ABS-CBN 60 years celebration, and many more.
Open daily from 6AM (or earlier) up to 12AM. Entrance fee is just Php 10.00 (as of posting time). The use of swimming pool and sports building requires additional fees. There are both paid and FREE parking around the sports park.
The Sports Center is well located in the heart of Marikina and is open 24 hours a day. It has a world-class athletics track, swimming pool, basketball courts, and a tennis court and the multi-story building caters to most sports.
