Marsa Sports Centre

This extensive Sports Complex utilises the flatlands west of Grand Harbour on the outskirts of Marsa. Facilities are provided for a variety of outdoor and indoor sport activities. These include a modem horse-racing track, a football ground, an athletic stadium, several tennis courts, a golf course and facilities for indoor sports and games.

The Marsa Sports Club, which operates as a private concem catering for its members, is housed in the complex.

Until the closure of the military base in Malta, the Marsa Sports Grounds and the Club belonged to the British Forces.

The Sports Centre is now shared by three separate authorities: the Malta Government, which is responsible for the public facilities; the Jockey Club, which manages the racing course; and the Marsa Sports Club, which caters for its membership on a subscription basis.

The public grounds fall under the Ministry responsible for Youth and the Arts. Youngsters are encouraged to participate and train in various team and individual sporting disciplines.

The Jockey Club organises horse-racing; meetings are usually held on Sundays from October to June, but extra races are organised on special days and festivities.

The Marsa Club is one of the leading sports clubs in the Mediterranean. The premises are sited among trees and shrubbery in pleasant surroundings. Amenities include an 1 8-hole golf-course - the only one on the island - eighteen tennis courts, five squash courts, mini-golf and a cricket pitch.

The large open-air swimming pool is a rendezvous for members, including families with children. The club provides a restaurant, a bar, a TV lounge, a cards room and well-equipped changing rooms.

The Club, which is open daily between 9am and 9pm, offers daily or weekly membership to visitors during their stay on the island.
