The Nishtar Park Sports Complex is a multi-sport complex in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, administered principally by the Government of Punjab through Sports Board Punjab. The sports complex include Punjab Stadium, National Hockey Stadium, the Punjab International Swimming Complex, an indoor gymnasium, a tennis stadium, and boxing and squash facilities.
Development The venues at Nishtar Park regularly host provincial and national multi-sport competitions. It will also host international events such as 2027 South Asian Games.
Construction of the swimming complex and tennis stadium experienced repeated delays before the facilities became operational in the 2010s.
Further development in the 2020s included construction of a squash complex, rehabilitation of the boxing complex and Punjab Stadium, and plans for a hotel for visiting athletes.
