Parc des sports de Marville

Activities on offer include various football codes, beach volley, track and field, archery, sport shooting and swimming.

[1] Instead the entire domain started being used for cross country races, and officially became known as Parc des sports de La Courneuve in 1922.

[2] It proved popular enough that the French Athletics Federation considered moving its headquarters from Colombes to La Courneuve, before transportation concerns put a damper on the possibility.

[4] The stadium has had a variety of short-term tenants over the years, mostly clubs from close Paris suburbs who outgrew their regular venue by ascending through the ranks of their sport.

Perhaps the most notable is Red Star F.C., a soccer club from nearby Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, which played at Marville between 1998–99 and 2001–02, originally to satisfy the requirements of Division 2, for which its usual venue Stade Bauer was unsuitable.
