The Torremolinos Town Hall announces an investment of more than one million euros for the construction of a new covered sports pavilion in El Pinillo, specifically in the area of El Palmeral. This was announced this Wednesday by the mayor of the town, Margarita del Cid, who specified that the financing will come from the unconditional funds released by the Provincial Council.
“From the first moment we were clear that we had to bet on more and better sports equipment”, Del Cid explained, stressing that it will be “the greater investment in sports in the municipality in more than seven years”.
The facilities will host varied sports practices, such as handball, futsal, basketball, mini basketball, volleyball and badminton, among other; and it will have an adjoining sports court to reconcile the use that the clubs of the municipality will give it with the demand at the user level.
One of the motivations for proposing this project “has been the need to expand covered sports facilities, a demand that is even more accentuated after the closure of the San Francisco pavilion“, has indicated the mayor. The choice of its location responds to a historical claim of the residents of this area of El Pinillo.
Plan of the new projected sports facilities.
The municipal claim is that this infrastructure “becomes a reality as soon as possible.” “Money that we receive from other administrations, money that goes out for equipment and public services. Here we already nothing stays in a drawer“, has asserted Del Cid, who has highlighted the “tourist attraction” that sport supposes in the municipality.
The intention of the government team is that this new pavilion fills the gap that many sports clubs in the town currently have. The mayor has insisted that this investment is part of a promotion of the entire sports infrastructure of Torremolinos, either with new facilities or with the arrangement and modernization of existing ones, in such a way that the city becomes an attraction for clubs and disciplines.
