Frequented by neighborhood joggers, this sports ground welcomes every year the arrival of Grand Raid, a mountain race that crosses the island from the Sud Sauvage. In the past, horse races, and races of donkeys and pigs were organized there and were lively popular successes: the site supported a hippodrome now disappeared. it also had, for a time, a velodrome at the beginning of 20th century.
