Sport
About twenty sports associations and some businesses (e.g. a dance school) give a variety of sports opportunities in Dardilly. The town also has access to several sports facilities:
- The moulin Carron complex (gym, stadium, dojo, tennis), rebuilt and enlarged in 2007 *The Brocardière stadium (soccer pitch and athletics track)
- The Roland Guillaud gymnasium (climbing walls)
- The Paillet boulodrome
- The départemental boulodrome: situated in the Porte de Lyon, this large complex was inaugurated officially on 4 and 5 December 2006. At the crossroads for more than twenty years, the départemental boulodrome has thus left the south gate to be reborn at the Porte de Lyon. Installed on nearly 7 000 m², this complex includes more than 4,500 m² (covered and open-air) dedicated to games, of which 1,083 is air-conditioned, as well as a bar, a restaurant and a terrace. Ten games areas are up to international standard and allow the organization of competitions at the highest level.
- The Brocardière BMX track.

Famous quotes containing the word sport:
“I wish glib and indiscriminate critics of industrialists had some conception of the problems that have to be met by factory management.... General condemnation of employers is a favorite indoor sport of the uninformed intelligentsia who assume the role of lance- bearers for labor.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.”
—Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
