Hola:

Con qué término puedo englobar la pista polideportiva de un pavellón polideportivo? Es decir, se trata de un cartel para indicar dónde está la pista polideportiva, pero solo pone "pista". En esa pista se juega a fútbol, baloncesto, hockey, etc.

¿Alguna pista? ;o)

Mil gracias

agree  Robert Carter: If it's indoors, certainly.

  -> Thanks, Robert.

neutral  philgoddard: But would you just have a sign on the wall saying "court"? Wouldn't you say something more specific, like "multipurpose sports hall" or "playing area"?

Explanation:
"Pista" is really "track" but "pista polideportiva" as you explain is more like a "sports arena".

Even more applicable to your description may be "sports center",

  -> Thank you very much, Christian. :-)

neutral  philgoddard: All of these imply the whole building, but it's part of a building.

  -> I see. Well, I think that "sports center" could be an option, nonetheless.
