Article source: GANA Arquitectura This project arises from the rehabilitation process created in order to revalue some of the sports facilities at Fernando Ruiz Hierro Complex that had been abandoned and, thus, to improve the entire complex. The project area includes an old outdoor swimming pool, a football ground, the existing padel courts and the surrounding area.  Image Courtesy © Blanca Green

This space has been rethought through the creation of two well-equipped changing rooms with toilets and a multifunctional room.

A subtle call that aspires to become a sincere invitation for users to recover this space for so many years forgotten.

However, this new attractive image is not just because of the new services offered, but because of the main tennis court, created to complete the existing tennis center. Thus, this complex is able to offer a great setting in which to organize tournaments under the watchful eye of the 300 people who can be accommodated by the stands. A new sports landmark in this great facility.

Therefore, it was decided as best solution, to change the surface into artificial turf due to its perfect finish and low maintenance. An important step forward to improve quality of this large but a bit old facility.

After years, they had suffered heavy damage to the pitch, which was completely renovated in order to allow players to enjoy their favorite sport under conditions of comfort and safety.

A new environment which enable citizens to enjoy sports and their benefits.
