Murcia Advances Sports Infrastructure with Renovation of El Palmar II Sports Center

The Murcia City Council’s Governing Board has approved a significant investment to enhance local sports facilities through the renovation of the Polideportivo El Palmar II. The project, led by Sports Councillor Miguel Ángel Noguera, involves replacing the artificial turf at the seven-a-side football field and refurbishing four paddle courts. The total base budget for this tender, including VAT, is €198,320.16, with a three-month timeline for completing the works once started.

Noguera highlighted the city’s commitment to grassroots sports and improving municipal facilities that serve a large community of users. He described El Palmar II as a vital local sports hub, emphasizing that the upgrades will provide safer, more modern environments tailored to current athletes' needs. The call for bids is open for 20 days following the public announcement.

While Murcia focuses on infrastructure improvements, broader regional sports governance is also evolving. Roberto García Fernández recently assumed the position of secretary xeral de Deporte, where he is prioritizing the promotion of physical activity in schools and the development of comprehensive plans for sports facilities, including regulating outdoor sports.

This dual approach underscores Murcia’s dedication to fostering sporting activities by modernizing facilities and strengthening sports administration, ultimately supporting community well-being and active lifestyles.
