About the Alberta Velodrome.

From the Commonwealth Games legacy at Argyll to a world-class indoor track — and the people who made it happen.

Who we are

The Alberta Velodrome Association is the community-driven, non-profit organization behind Alberta's only indoor velodrome. We grew out of the Argyll Velodrome Association — the volunteers who kept Edmonton's outdoor track alive for decades — and today we operate the 250 m UCI-certified track at the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre.

Our job is simple to say and big to do: put as many people on the track as possible — from a nervous first-timer's first laps to a national-team athlete's training block.

Why we exist

Underneath everything we do is one belief: this building only matters if cycling grows because of it. A world-class track that sits empty is a monument. A full one is a movement.

That's why accessibility isn't a slogan here — it's the strategy. Every school group, every newly certified rider, every packed league night is evidence that the city's investment is working and the sport is getting bigger.

And it's why the pathway runs unbroken from one end to the other: the same association that teaches a ten-year-old to hold their line supports athletes training toward the national team — on the same boards.

What we do

Run the riding

Certification courses, youth track school, school visits, camps, and structured training — every program on the calendar.

Develop athletes

A complete pathway from first laps to Team Alberta, NextGen, and beyond, led by nationally credentialed coaches.

Host the big events

The velodrome hosted its first nationals — the 2026 Canadian U17/Junior Track Championships — within two months of opening.

Keep the community rolling

Open track, league nights, and a year-round home for riders from every club in the city.

Get involved

The track runs on people like you.

Volunteer a night, adopt a seat, or sponsor a league. Every bit keeps Alberta's only indoor velodrome spinning.
