Park of Youth Stadium

About this venue

Stadion Park Mladeži is one of Split’s most recognizable sports venues—compact, authentic, and built for a close-to-the-action experience. As the city’s second-largest football stadium, with roughly 4,000 seated places, it’s a great fit for matches and events that benefit from an intimate, high-energy crowd.

Inside, everything feels immediate: the stands sit close to the grass pitch, the atmosphere builds fast, and the floodlights add that classic match-night character. Beyond football, the stadium is also known for its athletics track that wraps around the field, reinforcing the feel of a true multi-sport hub rather than a one-purpose arena.

You’ll find it at Ulica Hrvatske Mornarice 10, Split, Croatia. Entrances are set within the Park Mladeži sports complex, and access is typically easiest on foot from the surrounding streets, with short drop-off options and parking spots along the edge of the sports center.

About the city

Split, the heart of Dalmatia on the Adriatic coast, blends Mediterranean charm with the pulse of major events and nightlife. As a city that lives on the streets and by the sea, it’s a natural stage for sports spectacles and concert nights—an atmosphere that works just as well before the program starts as it does long after the final applause. A stroll along the waterfront, coffees on sunny terraces, and the relaxed local rhythm make getting to an event part of the experience, not just logistics.

For getting around, the most common choice is Promet Split, the city bus network connecting key neighborhoods and access points. If you arrive by air, Zračna luka Split makes it easy to reach the center and the main transport hubs, while train travelers arrive at Željeznički kolodvor Split, conveniently located by the waterfront. The same area also hosts Autobusni kolodvor Split and Gradska luka Split, so transfers between different modes of transport are straightforward—especially if you combine land and sea travel. From the center, you can quickly reach the main sports and concert venues, such as Stadion Poljud and ŠC Gripe, on foot, by bus, or with a short ride.

Before or after an event, Split rewards curiosity: the stone streets within Dioklecijanova palača lead to squares, passages, and sudden views of the sea, while Riva is perfect for an easy walk and soaking up the city’s energy. For a calmer break, there’s Marjan, the city’s favorite green escape with viewpoints, while Bačvice is a classic pick if you want to combine the sea with the city’s buzz. The old town, parks, and coastal promenade offer enough to fill your day without rushing, leaving the evening to the event itself.

Split is also welcoming and practical for visitors: accommodation ranges from hotels and boutique options near the old core to apartments in neighborhoods with excellent connections to the center. Gastronomy is a strong asset—from traditional Dalmatian taverns to modern restaurants—built around recognizable flavors of the sea and local cuisine. Many visitors highlight the relaxed and safe feel, making planning a match day or concert night easy and stress-free.
