Key details
The municipalities of Marbella and Armilla are undertaking significant sports infrastructure developments to benefit local athletes and residents. In Marbella, the City Council is investing over 440,000 euros to replace the existing skateboard circuit at Parque Arroyo de La Represa with a new pump track designed for skateboards, BMX bikes, roller skates, and scooters. The pump track will feature two zones catering to beginners and advanced users, with attention to natural and artificial lighting, improved access ramps, and resting areas. Construction is expected to last five months once started.
Meanwhile, Armilla in Granada is set to expand its Municipal Stadium with a new three-tier stand that will add 486 seats, increasing the total seating capacity to 841. The €82,076.67 contract awarded to VT Proyectos SL marks the first step in a larger initiative to develop a comprehensive sports zone along Camino Bajo. This area plans to include paddle courts, an athletics track, and a rugby field to serve both the local community and the metropolitan region. The project awaits resolution of land-use legal issues to comply with Andalusia's Ley Lista for territorial sustainability.
These projects aim to enhance the quality and accessibility of sports facilities, promote community engagement, and attract diverse athlete groups in their respective regions.
