The first one includes a large basketball arena welcoming the Sharks of Antibes, a nationally known basketball club playing in Pro B. This facility dating from 2013 also includes a large acrobatic gymnastics and trampoline venue, where the town club and the French division see their athletes progress. The second complex is the shooting range, located on the other side of the road from the AzurArena.

In addition, it is 5 minutes from the large shopping center of Antibes Nord. It is located at the gates of Sophia-Antipolis, the first technology park in France.

The entire center is compliant with the persons with reduced mobility (PRM) technical specifications.
