Winnipeg Velodrome

The Winnipeg Velodrome was a cycling facility built in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the 1967 Pan-American Games, and managed by Winnipeg Enterprises. The facility was a banked short-track oval with a cement surface.

The infield was large enough to accommodate a Canadian football-sized field, and indeed, the Velodrome was an important venue for high-school football in the city. In later years, it was used as a practice facility by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.

By the 1990s, the facility had become functionally obsolete for competitive cycling, and its use by cyclists had all but ceased. In light of the facility's deterioration, a decision was made to build a temporary velodrome for the 1999 Pan-American Games at the Red River Exhibition Park. The Winnipeg Velodrome was demolished in 1998 and the site is now occupied by retail stores. The temporary facility built to replace the Winnipeg Velodrome was itself disassembled shortly after the 1999 Pan-American Games, leaving Manitoba without a velodrome facility.
