Mayor Announces Next Tender for Youth Pavilion in Córdoba, Residents Criticize Lack of Sports Facilities

The mayor of Córdoba has announced the next tender for the Youth Pavilion which, for the residents, “is not a sports pavilion but a macro gym with swimming pool and paddle tennis courts“, on the site of the old Youth Sports Center.

“According to what was announced by the City Council, it does not plan include a multi-sports courtso necessary for team sports such as indoor soccer, volleyball, basketball, handball, badminton, for example, and activities such as rhythmic gymnastics, dance or dancing,” criticize neighbors through the Campo de la Verdad and Fray Albino association, even with “the urgent lack and need for covered sports facilities in the Southern District.”

The association criticizes that the project “does not plan to build a chapoteo or therapeutic poolso necessary for residents who have to travel to other pools in the city.” For the association, technically the City Council project can be modified, adding to the gym an indoor sports court and a therapeutic pool. Proof of this, they say, They are the designs prepared for the neighborhood association by the G2 Architects firm, with its studio in the district and presented at the time at Imdeco.

“There is an urgent social need for covered sports facilities in the neighborhood, and the City Council It only offers a macro gym where there was a sports hall with history and tradition, and a covered track, but not closed, that is, for use limited to good weather, in a corner of the San Eulogio stadium,” the neighbors criticize.

Thus, the Guadalquivir Neighborhood Association of Campo de la Verdad and Fray Albino has always presented, before all forums, its opposition to there being no therapeutic pool or sports court. The modifications that the association has officially proposed to Imdeco “reflect the needs shown by the neighborhood of the district, and not by the gym installation companies.”

Likewise, the neighbors consider that “gym, sports court and therapeutic pool are not incompatible” y They affirm that “the only thing left to do is take the step for our municipal authorities to value healthy team sports as a source of team values, linked to the gym for the individual care of the body and mind.”
