The new building complex of Tartumaa Health Sports Centre creates a representative yet nature-focused environment for recreational and competitive sports in the middle of a pine forest. An outdoor gallery and timber terrace connect the football, basketball and volleyball courts, climbing tower, Tartu Marathon finish area and campfire and barbecue spots, guiding visitors smoothly from one activity to another.

The main building’s gallery houses the competition centre, indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, and administrative rooms, opening generous views towards the sports fields and surrounding forest. Camping cabins and a service building next to the sports centre provide comfortable accommodation for training camps and major events, together forming a contemporary year-round destination for health and outdoor sports.
