Torrevieja is gearing up for the grand opening of its newest sports facility, La Mata Sports Centre. Scheduled to open its doors in November, this state-of-the-art centre is set to become a hub for sports and community activities.
The facility boasts a range of amenities, including a fully air-conditioned multi-sports court, gym, multipurpose rooms, changing rooms, and a cafeteria. The 45×24 meter multi-sports court is designed to accommodate a variety of sports, from indoor football to badminton.
The centre’s unique design, featuring large tarpaulins depicting the local beach and natural areas, has garnered national attention. This innovative approach aims to mitigate potential visual impact on nearby residents.
Despite initial challenges, including plot size constraints and unforeseen construction needs, the project has progressed ahead of schedule. The City Council has invested nearly €6 million in the facility, with additional funds allocated for modifications and improvements.
As the centre prepares to open its doors, the local government is addressing potential parking issues in the area. Plans are underway to optimize parking spaces in the nearby Doña Perfecta park to accommodate the expected influx of visitors.
