The Walden Elementary Ensphere is a wood dome stadium in East Hills, Hurbanova, Oceana. It is owned and funded by Walden Elementary and the Walden Initiative and is operated by SMG. It is the only domed elementary school football venue in the world.

Opened in 1987 at a cost of US$19 million, the venue seats 5,500 persons for American football and track & field, 9,000 for basketball and volleyball, 40,950 for baseball, and 23,000 to 20,824 for multipurpose events.

History
In 1982, a US$12 million bond for the dome and repairs was floated and passed after it was found that Quality Food Services, Ltd., a large restaurant franchiser and operator, would have to pay for US$11 million of it. QFS sued to block construction, but trial and appellate courts rejected the lawsuit.

Construction began in the summer of 1985. It was forced to stop for three months for re-inspection when two workers were hit by wooden beams and fell 75 feet to their deaths.

The dome's first event was a concert by Tiffany Darwish as part of her "The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour '87.", which was the only tour stop not performed in a mall, and the only one overseas.

The stadium hosted some games of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Major League Baseball (MLB) while Angel Stadium was being renovated in 1996 and 1997.

In 2006, the Ensphere hosted the Lovian leg of the Monster Jam World Tour, and returned in 2007, and then in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. The temporary Chicago-style course, set up on plastic and plywood laid over the track & field (usually underneath the grass sod football field), is 108.3 square feet long and with sections of the stadiums lower seating bowl covered and with temporary seating sections set up, the capacity of the stadium for monster truck rallies is set at 20,824.
