NEW SPORTS CENTRE IN LA MARINA URBANISATION…

The Sports Centre for the urbanisations was inaugurated on Monday 21 March. The location is calle Francisco de Queveda in La Marina urbanisation. Alicante Diputation sub-delegate Encarna Llinares Cuesta, performed the opening ceremony and declared all the sports facilities in the large new complex now open for the public use. San Fulgencio mayoress Trinidad Martinez, deputy mayor Mariano Marti, and all the government team attended the ceremony, including English councillor Mark Lewis.

There is a full size tennis court, a 5-a-side football pitch, 2 padel courts (a sort of cross between tennis and squash). There is also a 7-a-side football pitch, and very soon there will be up to ten petanque courts. There are also dedicated changing room facilities including showers, a children’s play area with swings and a slide, and public benches arranged around the perimeter. The whole area is secured with tall high grade fencing and locked gates. The opening times will be from approx 7.30am until 8 or 9pm each day. 

The funding for two new Sports Centres in the municipality came from Central Government, a total of 1.2 million euros for the two centres, one in San Fulgencio, and this one in La Marina urbanisation.

During the opening ceremony Encarna Llinares Cuesta complimented the local government team for their intelligent use of the land and for making such a beautiful complex of sports and leisure available for local people to enjoy.
