Northgate Arena is an arena and leisure centre complex in Chester, England. Built in the 1970s on the site of the Chester Northgate railway station, Northgate Arena includes swimming pools, a gymnasium, several sports halls and a sauna. The main sports hall is also used for toy and train, antique, postcard and computer fairs. The smaller halls are used by a range of martial art groups which practice, amongst other disciplines, Ju Jitsu, Thai Boxing, Ninjitsu and Kung Fu.
The arena is also the home venue of the Cheshire Phoenix who compete in the British Basketball League. The 1,000-seat sports hall has served as the team's home since 1993, following the clubs move from Ellesmere Port.
