Original Purpose: Built to host baseball events for the 2004 Athens Olympics. New Purpose: Repurposed into a public golf driving range and soccer fields. Baseball isn't a major sport in Greece, so after the Olympics, the stadium quickly fell into disuse. Rather than leaving it abandoned, the facility was creatively converted into a golf driving range and multipurpose soccer fields. This transformation reflects the necessity of adapting Olympic venues to meet local demand.
