With an inversion of 522.000 euros, the roof of the pool has been replaced, the changing rooms renovated, the parking area repaired, architectural barriers eliminated, and the surface of the outdoor track changed
The change of the swimming pool roof at the Calvià Sports Centre was, in it's day, the firing of the starter pistol for the complete renovation of these sports installations, which is now in the final stages, and has given its users first class, modern and comfortable sports facilities.
The aim of the Calvià Town Hall to encourage sport in the municipality is reflected, not only in this improvement, but in all the refurbishment, modernisation and new construction which is being applied to each and every one of the municipal sports infrastructures within the programme "Calvià al día" (modern day Calvià), a comprehensive plan for improvement and modernisation which ratifies the commitment of the government and its Mayor, Carlos Delgado for the promotion and difusion of sport, and also for Senior Citizens, Education, Health Care, Tourism, Cleanliness & Security.
In reference to the Calvià Sports Centre, after the replacement of the pool roof several other tasks followed, making a total cost of more than 522.300 euros. These include the renovation of the changing rooms of the indoor track and the football pitch ; the replacement of the sports centre's fence ; the changing of the hot water tanks (ACS) as well as repairing the air conditioning system by way of soundproofing the heating motor. Also, the athletics area has been given a wooden gymnastics track and three cardiovascular machines have been replaced (a tread mill ; a cross-trainer and a static bycicle) in the gym.
These improvements are added to the repair work done in the sports centre car park, consisting of repairing the pavements and putting a new layer of tarmac down ; the resurfacing of the lanes of the outdoor tracks ; the elimination of architectural barriers on the football pitch and the reparation of the skylighting of the sports pavillion.
Furthermore, the surface of the outdoor sports track has been changed for the "Sport Life" model, which consists in the treatment of the surface with non-slip resin, and the five-a-side football, basketball & volleyball courts have been painted.
