The demographic data of the respondents were analyzed with frequency counts and percentages while inferential statistic of multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The finding revealed that availability and usability of sports facilities significantly predicts sustainable sports development in Colleges of Education in Oyo, Oyo State, Nigeria. Based on the findings the following recommendations were made; that the College management should embark on rehabilitating the existing sports facilities, and put in place non-existing sports facilities. That College Management should have a special day in a week in the college calendar, where staff and students would use available sports facilities for practice and training for their choice sports and games.
