Sports facilities

There are many places in Opava where you can spend your free time and enjoy various sports. The city has an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, an ice rink, bike paths, and trails for inline skating, etc.

Outdoor swimming pool

The outdoor swimming pool is located near the city park. The complex can accommodate up to 3,000 visitors, who can use the pool divided into sections for swimmers and non-swimmers, a children's paddling pool, two water slides, petanque, two beach volleyball courts, a children's playground, a misting area, jumping bubbles, a ping-pong table, and more. The water in the pool has been heated since its renovation in 2007.

Indoor pool

The municipal spa in the city center offers a 25-meter indoor pool, steam bath, and sauna.

Discgolf

In 2013, a 9-hole disc golf course was established at Silver Lake. Disc golf is a popular sport that combines throwing a flying disc at a target according to rules similar to golf.

Inline trails

The most popular skating location in Opava has long been Městské sady, which has three basic circuits on a special surface with lengths of 1,685, 1,085, and 620 meters.

In September 2022, an inline complex with an oval was opened in the same location on Žižkova Street. It is operated by the LUIGINO.cz roller skating club. For more information, visit their website: INLINE AREÁL v Opavě - LUIGINO.cz. The complex is open to the public free of charge.

Opava is also known for its Blade Nights Opava evening rides, during which skaters ride together along a several-kilometer route leading along the city's roads.

Skatepark

A concrete skatepark was built near the basketball hall in Městské sady in 2012, offering a range of obstacles, including a U-ramp. An expansion of the skatepark with additional features is planned for 2026. Representatives of the Opava community, which uses the park the most, are collaborating on the design. The Opava skatepark is freely accessible to the public.

Silver Lake

A popular recreational area close to the city, created by flooding a former gypsum mine. The lake is almost 600 meters long and 200 meters wide. Its maximum depth is 18 meters.

The Silver Lake area underwent extensive reconstruction in 2020. It was connected to the City Gardens (via an underpass and footbridge), the banks were modified, landscaping was carried out, and a wall was built to prevent noise from entering the quiet zone. Later, public toilets, lockers, and changing rooms were added, and a pier and an island were built on the lake. For runners, there is a one-mile circuit marked around the lake. There is also access to public transport stops.

Miniature golf

An 18-hole concrete miniature golf course is located in the immediate vicinity of the outdoor pool. The course is open from May to the end of September.
