The Argyll Velodrome, located in south-central Edmonton, was constructed in 1977 by the City of Edmonton as a primary site for competitive cycling during the 1978 Commonwealth Games. 

The velodrome is one of about twenty-five velodrome tracks in North America. In Canada there are eight tracks; Dieppe New Brunswick, University of Laval, Laval Quebec, Bromont Quebec, Calgary Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Burnaby British Columbia, Victoria British Columbia and London, Ontario. Edmonton, Burnaby, Victoria, Calgary and Bromont are sanctioned for some International events.  

The Argyll Velodrome is a 333 1/3 meter x 7 meter wide, 33 degree banked concrete surfaced track situated in the beautiful Edmonton river valley Argyll Park. The facility is equal to any equivalent cycling facility in the world and is set up for first time riders to come out and experience what track riding is like. It is open for public use from May 1st to August 31st, with School bookings going until mid to late October (weather pending).
