Originally a place for several local regiments' military drill—hence the name—it has since 1917 been used exclusively for civilian events. It is most famous for hosting the three major annual badminton events in Themiclesia—Themiclesian National Championships, the Kien-k'ang Open Championships, and the Lower Themiclesia Open Championships. It also hosts the the National Indoor Tennis Championships.
