| Its construction is included in the project to improve the sports center, which has almost 976,000 euros of municipal investment and includes a roller hockey rink, a shooting range with arch and a street workout-calisthenics park | The works to improve the facilities of the municipal sports center of Las Torres de Cotillas, which began at the beginning of summer, continue apace.
These works will involve a municipal investment of almost 976,000 euros, which will be used for various projects.
"Among them, the construction of a locker room-bleacher for the Onofre Fernández Verdú football field stands out, which had been without this service for years for its thousands of annual users.
After several weeks of work, which has included the corresponding earthworks, it is raised its structure ", explains Torreño mayor, Joaquín Vela Fernández. This construction will have 342'24 m2 for changing rooms -three for athletes and two for referees-, warehouses and public toilets, while a total of 267, '3 m2 will be allocated to a covered stands with 304 seats, and 278'16 m2 for a low tier area, where warehouses and facilities rooms will be located. In addition, the artificial grass of the Onofre Fernández Verdú field is being changed, which was installed in 2008 and already has deficiencies.
"The old grass will be used to garden flowerbeds in the sports center itself," says the Councilor for Health and Sports, Verónica Morcillo De la Torre. Other facilities This major project to improve the municipal sports complex, which has a maximum execution period of 9 months, proposes the construction of other facilities.
Among them, a perimeter closed roller hockey rink, whose playing field will have a surface of 44x22 meters.
"This sport is booming in our municipality, thanks especially to the work carried out by the Roller Queen club among the youngest," says the mayor. Archery is another discipline with deep roots in Las Torres de Cotillas, for which its athletes will have a new field in which they can shoot from a distance of up to 90 meters thanks to its wide dimensions (106 meters long by 15 meters wide).
The culmination of this project is the creation of a 900.00 m2 street workout-calisthenics park.
"These are sports that combine basic physical exercises in which one's own weight is used with acrobatic exercises, characteristics that make it very attractive to young people," reports the mayor. "All the new facilities will be adapted to people with reduced mobility and will have their own lighting, and to provide them with electricity supply, the installation of solar panels has also been planned," says the Councilor for Urban Planning, Francisco Fernández Bath, who points out that will build a new perimeter wall to "unify the enclosure of the sports complex in its entirety."
