Hala Orbita

Hala Orbita sits on ul. Wejherowska 34, tucked into the Popowice district near the Oder and the Port Osobowice area. It took twelve years to build, from 1992 to 2002, before opening its doors in 2004. The architect was Marek Dziekoński.

Unlike the outdoor stadiums that line the river, this arena is a box of concrete inside. The parquet floor, which is removable, sets it apart from the grass pitches down the road. It was renovated with new panels in 2022 and sanded again in 2026. The capacity is 3,000, a number that has not changed since the opening. It hosts basketball, handball, and volleyball, but the history is not just in the games.

In March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the arena was converted into a temporary shelter for refugees, housing approximately 350 beds and accommodating over 1,000 people before closing in early April 2022. The wooden floor covered the beds.

It also saw U2 and Lady Pank play in front of the crowd, and it hosted the finals of the Polish Cup in men's volleyball in February 2022. The name comes from the adjacent "Pływalnia Letnia Orbita" swimming pool, which dates back to the 1920s and was originally built as Waldbad Cosel. The arena retains that name, unlike the teams that play inside it.
