Velódromo Peñalolén, Competition cycling velodrome in Peñalolén, Chile.
Velódromo Peñalolén is a track cycling venue in Peñalolén featuring a white tensile fabric roof structure that spans the entire facility and stands out against the Andes backdrop. The banked oval track is constructed to international standards and accommodates roughly 3000 spectators in the stands.
The track opened in 2014 as part of Santiago's infrastructure for the South American Games. It was built to give Chile a permanent venue for world-class cycling competitions.
The facility serves as a training hub for track cycling athletes in Santiago, where local riders and teams develop their skills regularly. Visitors can feel the energy on training days as cyclists race around the banked oval.
The venue is best visited during daytime when training activities are taking place and the track is active. Visitors should note that access and public tours may depend on ongoing programs or scheduled events.
The building cleverly uses the natural slope of the terrain so that the grandstands are integrated into the existing topography. Large glass walls surround the interior and offer open views to the surrounding mountains.
