This weekend, Herencia is reopening one of its key sports facilities. After months of renovations, the Municipal Sports Center is debuting with a fresh look and is better equipped to handle the intensive use by clubs, sports schools, and fans. The reopening isn’t just ceremonial: activities will resume with a high-level match, featuring the Men’s First Division game between BM Herencia Ararat and One Eden Mijas this Saturday at 6:00 PM.
The renovations focused primarily on the bleachers, aimed at increasing capacity and enhancing the audience experience. According to the provided information, the sports center has improved from 280 seats to 350, and the connecting gallery between the two existing courts will allow for an additional 384 standing guests. This upgrade meets the rising demand from sports clubs and the attendance generated by certain competitions.
Increased Capacity and a Design for Everyday Use
The renovation has also introduced new spaces beyond the seating area. Notable improvements include the addition of new storage areas, meeting rooms, public restrooms, a bar area, a press box, and a study room for students of the Sports Schools. The project also expanded the playing surface, enhancing the functionality of the facility for training and games.
Another key aspect of the renovation is the improvement in accessibility, with better pathways both in the seating area and to the court, along with enhanced security measures, including a new pedestrian access from the street through the court.
The total investment for this renovation is approximately €1,050,165.73, a figure that, according to the City Council, addresses the need for modern and functional facilities that can meet the level of competitions and sports disciplines being pursued in the area.
Mayor Sergio García-Navas stated that this initiative reflects “the Council’s commitment to providing modern and functional facilities that match the sporting caliber of our teams and all sports enthusiasts.”
Acknowledgments for Support During Renovations
During the renovation period, several teams from Herencia had to train and compete outside the municipality. Councilor for Sports Serafín Tajuelo expressed gratitude to the city councils of Alcázar de San Juan, Madridejos, and Villarta de San Juan for allowing their facilities to be used, enabling Herencia clubs to maintain their activities. He also thanked the clubs, athletes, and families for their patience during the transition period.
