Centre Sportif Bois-de-Boulogne, Soccer centre in Laval, Quebec, Canada
Centre Sportif Bois-de-Boulogne is a sports facility in Quebec featuring six outdoor soccer fields, two indoor gymnasiums, and a strength training area. The complex can be fitted with a heated air-supported dome over the outdoor pitch when needed to allow year-round use.
Initiated by the Association régionale de soccer de Laval, which gathered funding from government, private and community sources, the centre opened in September 2005. From 2005 to 2017 it was the home and training ground of the Laval Comets of the USL W-League. Renovations in 2023-2024 rearranged the interior ahead of the arrival of Montreal Roses FC, and in January 2025 modular stands were announced for the central outdoor pitch, creating Stade Boréale with over 5,500 seats.
The stadium is named after Boréale, a Quebec brewery that sponsors it. The complex also houses the offices of Soccer Québec and several local soccer associations, and hosts provincial and national tournaments.
The complex sits in Laval, a suburb north of Montreal, and is split into three lateral zones: the arched indoor pitch, the offices and gymnasiums, and the smaller gymnastics hall. In winter an outdoor synthetic field beside the building is covered by a heated air-supported dome, so play continues indoors.
The wooden structure was designed by French architect Jean-Claude Baudry and earned the title of the largest wooden structure in Canada. Its exterior is clad in white sheet metal on an arched form resembling a boathouse. The building also integrated geothermal heating, among the first major sports facilities in Quebec to do so.
