About Whitewater Stadium At X-Park

Located in the heart of Rio de Janeiro’s Deodoro Olympic Park, the Whitewater Stadium at X-Park (officially Deodoro Olympic Whitewater Stadium) is a historic, purpose-built course for canoe slalom. Opened in November 2015 for Rio 2016 and the Paralympics, this 250 m competition canal and 200 m training canal delivered world-class racing on a purpose-built artificial whitewater course. Today, the venue remains part of the Deodoro Complex, offering public access as part of the Barra Olympic Park redevelopment. If you’re planning a visit, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transport, and nearby places to stay and eat.
