One of the great passions of Zagreb people is taking part in and following sports and sporting events. Many Zagreb sports people and coaches enjoy world reputations thanks to the many medals that have kept on being won at the Olympic Games and various world championships. Zagreb often finds itself the host to the great sporting events and championships thanks to its high quality sporting infrastructure. The most important meets held here to date have been the University Games of 1987 and the Military Games of 1999.
The Maksimir Town Stadium is at the south rim of Maksimir Woods. It was officially opened on May 5th 1912, and since then the HASK played on it. After the World War II and creation of Dinamo, "Zagreb Blue Boys" moved here.
In the southwest part of Zagreb, not far from Sava dike, there is a spacious recreational and sports centre Jarun - an oasis of peace and nature surrounded by crowds and noise. The former channel of the Sava River was arranged for the University Games in 1987, when the lake and the whole complex was given its present appearance.
Sports park Mladost is near the dike by the Sava river. The crucial object in the whole park is the Swimming and waterpolo centre. There are indoor and outdoor Olympic size swimming pools (25x50 meters), several smaller pools, children's pool, sun bathing space and other facilities.
