About Rexplex
Rexplex is a storied venue site in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with a legacy as a multi-sport and recreation hub. Located at 1001 Ikea Drive, the site once housed four indoor soccer fields, two hardwood basketball courts, two roller hockey rinks, an expansive 8,000-square-foot skate park, and additional recreational spaces for climbing and more. Although the complex as a dedicated Rexplex venue closed in 2004, the area has since been redeveloped into the Elizabeth Center, hosting big-name retailers and services that keep the spirit of active community life alive nearby. When planning events or visits to the Rexplex site, you’ll find straightforward logistics, ample free parking, and convenient transit options, with a range of nearby hotels and dining choices for teams, families, and spectators.
Today, the Rexplex footprint remains a reference point for youth and community sports, tournaments, and large-scale recreation events that continue to draw participants from the region. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats, plan your visit, and enjoy nearby amenities with ease.
