The Yaiza City Council presented this Monday morning, in a press conference, the project of the Playa Blanca Sports Complex, which will be composed of two structurally independent buildings with a common reception. A first building will house three multi-purpose courts (basketball, futsal, volleyball and handball), which can be converted into a single one approved for high competition, in addition to a gym and stands for 1,040 spectators, among other facilities. And an attached building, and "this is the great novelty" according to the mayor, Óscar Noda, will have three indoor pools, one of them 25 meters long.
"The municipal initiative coincides with the citizen demand that asks for more and better leisure infrastructures", pointed out Óscar Noda, who was accompanied at the table by the councilors of Sports and Public Works of Yaiza, Daniel Medina and Jonatan Lemes respectively, and by technicians from the project drafting team.
"We are talking about an ambitious project that Playa Blanca and the entire municipality deserve, a project that is around five million euros. Yaiza, today we can say it, with its healthy accounts and budgetary stability, has the capacity to execute it through a bank loan or co-financing with supramunicipal administrations", added the mayor, who affirmed that the City Council is already "studying the different alternatives to decide which is the most viable".
According to the City Council, "the design of the Sports Center takes care of the integration so that its volume, colors and textures do not have a negative impact on the environment, and has a coefficient of renewable energy above 74 percent, being an efficient complex from the energy point of view, as well as totally comfortable and accessible".
A scenic box to celebrate shows
The multi-purpose courts will be equipped with motorized curtains, which "allow independent use", as will also be "independent the use of the indoor pools", which will have "their own bleachers for 130 seated spectators". The complex includes a gym, weight rooms, changing rooms, cafeteria and semi-basement parking with 80 parking spaces, "some, of course, for people with reduced mobility and others with charging for electric vehicles". The City Council emphasizes that "the multipurpose room will allow the installation of a stage box to celebrate artistic shows and surface for auxiliary facilities".
As for the pools, in addition to the 25-meter long pool, the project includes a 12-meter long, less deep pool for teaching and a smaller one for physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
