Eindhoven

Exercise is wonderful for your health, social contacts, and the economic growth of a city and its population. Eindhoven has an elite notch sports infrastructure, both in terms of quality and quantity, with a focus on recreational sports, in the neighbourhoods, close to the people. By keeping matters mainly in its own hands, the city firmly manages the development of the sports infrastructure. Eindhoven is Holland’s trendsetter in the field of sports. Eindhoven boasts suitable accommodations for all sports-minded people, ranging from synthetic grass hockey fields to tracks, and from an indoor ice sports
centre to a state-of-the-art pool complex. 

The Sport and Exercise departments work closely together with other departments and services of the city in the execution of its policy. It goes without saying that the department also works closely together with non-municipal partners, such as sports clubs, commercial sports suppliers, hospitals, housing corporations and entrepreneurial citizens. The result of these partnerships is a top quality product and a high sports participation of 67%. This is above the national average. No fewer than 116,000 locals, aged 15 through 84, play sports or exercise more than once a month.
