The RIVERSPORT OKC National High Performance Center’s training facilities and equipment are among the best in the world. In 2028, RIVERSPORT’s whitewater course will serve as the venue for canoe slalom events, including Canoe/Kayak Slalom and Kayak Cross, for the LA28 Olympic Games.
The Oklahoma River has emerged as one of the premier urban aquatic venues in the world for both rowing and canoe/kayak sprint. Its 2000-meter 8-lane, fully buoyed race course and 4800-meter training courses combined with the region’s temperate weather make it possible to be on the water year round. Stadium lights on the banks of the Oklahoma River provide a 500 meter course for night racing.
Indoor training is centered at the Devon Boathouse, a $10 million, 33,000 sq/ft facility that houses a state-of-the art rowing tank, an indoor propulsion swimming pool, ergs, RP3s, a wide variety of cross training options and strength and conditioning equipment. Sports science and performance technology includes video analysis and biometrics. Sports medicine and athletic training resources are available through local partnerships with Mercy Hospital.
