Red Dragon Centre

The Red Dragon Centre is an indoor entertainment and leisure complex in southern Cardiff, the capital of Wales.

It is directly served by Cardiff Bus routes 6 (Baycar) and 8 (via Grangetown, Central Station) to the city centre.

[1] On 17 December 2019, it was announced that Cardiff Council's cabinet had been granted permission for the local authority to purchase the Red Dragon Centre from the British Airways Pension Fund (BAPF) for an undisclosed sum.

An element of the purchase price would only be payable to the pension fund once a planning application had been submitted for the new arena project on any part of the multi-acre Atlantic Wharf site (the combined County Hall on Schooner Way and Red Dragon Centre on Hemingway Road) within a 10 year period.

[3] There are plans to replace the centre with a new building "in the coming years",[4] as part of wider plans to regenerate the Atlantic Wharf area with a large mixed-use development situated on a 30 acres (12 ha) site;[5] this would include new council offices, waterfront apartments, a replacement hotel and "immersive" arts theatre to sit alongside a new 15,000 capacity indoor arena.
