Physical education and mass sports are ranked high on the list of the national priorities due to their health, physical progress and socializing benefits. Municipal governments are responsible for local communities being duly supplied by and having a free access to the municipal physical education and sport facilities – since good versatile physical/ sporting activity is considered a prime prerequisite for a physically and intellectually fit personality development missions. Every municipality is responsible to hold, develop and secure free access to the physical education and sport service facilities within its area for the local communities. Objective of the study was to analyze the sport infrastructure state in the Ural Region’s municipalities. Basic data for the analysis were minded in the annual reports of the municipal governments on the physical education and sport service infrastructure development, supply and demand.
The analysis revealed some deficiencies and underdevelopments in the municipal physical education and sport asset design and management in the context of the formal progress goals set by the municipal governments in the Sverdlovsk Oblast. The analysis found the following: the local physical education and sport facilities and equipment are often obsolete and depreciated; the physical education and sport system requires additional financing to improve the operation and maintenance standards; and the physical education and sport infrastructure often fails to meet the communal demand in full. These and some other problems may explain the fact that the local communities are still relatively uninterested in the municipal physical education and sport services.

Keywords: physical education and sport, municipalities, sport infrastructure, depreciation degree.
