The Schotte Sports Centre in Aalst is a multifunctional sports complex that was created on the former site of the Schotte tannery. The sports centre includes a state-of-the-art sports hall, an Olympic gymnastics hall, a combat and dance hall, a fitness room, and an athletics track. It also offers climbing facilities, mountain bike trails, kayak trails and much more.
One of the most striking features of the sports centre is the new climbing tower, also known as "Blue Diamond". This 16-metre high ropes course was designed by The Outsider and consists of three levels with different levels of difficulty. It is accessible to both beginners and advanced climbers and offers a unique climbing experience with a combination of rope bridges, stairs, climbing and balancing exercises.
The history of the site begins with the Schotte tannery, whose beautifully renovated gatehouses and the long factory wall still form the iconic streetscape of the Kapellekensbaan. The sports centre is now one of the most modern sports sites in Belgium and offers a wide range of sports facilities and activities.

An ultra-modern multifunctional sports center was built on the former site of the Schotte tannery on the legendary "Kapellekensbaan" (cf. the book by Aalster native L.ouis Paul Boon). With a huge sports hall, an Olympic gymnastics hall, a combat and dance hall and a fitness room,... it also forms the base for a real sports district.
More than 30 sports clubs have their base in Schotte and the Aalst Sports Service also moved there.
The Blue Diamond ropes course tower (from Outsider) is an eye-catcher.
