Sportplatz Wyden Engelberg is a modern municipal football and multi sport complex in the Wyden quarter to the east of the village centre of Engelberg, in the canton of Obwalden in central Switzerland. The facility lies on Wiesenweg close to the monastery and is easily reached by car and on foot, with pay parking available next to the grounds. It serves as the home venue and training base for the Engelberger Sportclub, which uses the pitch for league fixtures and youth development, and is also hired by external football and ice hockey camps staying in Engelberg.
The complex centres on a full size artificial turf football pitch built to host 11 a side matches, complemented by a separate ball playground with artificial covering, a hard court marked with four basketball baskets and two handball goals, and a small athletics facility with a 100 metre straight and long jump area. These installations allow clubs, schools and visiting teams to run football sessions, small sided games, multisport training and basic track and field work in one compact site, often in combination with off ice conditioning for users of the nearby Sporting Park Engelberg.
Managed on behalf of the municipality by Sporting Park Engelberg, Sportplatz Wyden also offers cloakrooms, a theory room and material rooms and is integrated into the wider sports offer of the resort, which includes an ice rink, swimming pool and indoor courts. The combination of quality artificial turf, simple athletics installations and functional support spaces makes the venue a practical training ground for grassroots and regional level football as well as a flexible outdoor option for multi day sports camps in Engelberg.
