Molyneux Stadium is a multi-purpose indoor facility conveniently located in Molyneux Park off Centennial Avenue, Alexandra. Built in the 1960s from funds raised from the Alexandra Blossom Festival, the stadium is Central Otago's main indoor recreation venue.
The stadium is made up of a gymnasium with a timber sprung floor popular for gymnastics and marked out for badminton, basketball (undersized) and volleyball. There is also an expansive spectator viewing area on the second floor giving both spectators and supporters a bird's eye view of the action below.
