Cardiff International Sports Village

 sports complex, draw only border

Cardiff International Sports Village (Welsh: Pentref Chwaraeon Rhyngwladol Caerdydd) is located in Cardiff Bay in the city of Cardiff, Wales. It is one of the largest regeneration projects currently in the UK. It is a public-private funded project.

The site currently has a 50-metre (164 ft) Olympic standard swimming pool, a temporary ice rink and a white water canoeing and kayaking centre.

Upon completion, it is intended to have an indoor snow centre with real snow for skiing and snowboarding, and a hotel. Rock climbing and facilities for judo, wrestling, boxing and fencing, facilities for gymnastics together with shops, bars, restaurants, homes and offices, hotel and conference facilities

It was envisaged to have a 220-metre (722 ft) observation tower and a super-casino, although both schemes are unlikely to ever to be realised. It is possible that some of the sporting facilities will be used as a training venue for the London 2012 Olympics along with the Millennium Stadium, which will host some of the football.
