The Local Government Board of Valls has given final approval to the reform and expansion project of the Vilar sports pavilion, an action that will modernize the facility with an investment of 723,468.43 euros.

This intervention, which had already received initial approval in February 2026, required the validation of various sectoral reports. Among these, authorizations related to the railway sector stand out, due to the pavilion's proximity to the infrastructure, and a favorable report on heritage matters, as the area is affected by an archaeological site cataloged as a local interest asset.
One of the most significant improvements will be the installation of new retractable bleachers with capacity for 206 spectators, located on the northwest facade of the pavilion. This addition will not only improve visibility for the public during competitions but will also involve replacing the current roller hockey fence with an approved, safer, and more resistant system. Consequently, the sports court will be slightly reduced, measuring 40 meters long by 20 meters wide.
The project also includes the demolition of the current curved polycarbonate roof and the exterior enclosure to allow for the expansion of the facility with a new warm-up area and a renovated access lobby. Additionally, various technical and safety improvements will be included, such as changing the slope of the changing room roof, installing a new exterior channel, and relocating the natural gas network, currently inside the pavilion.
Finally, protection nets will be renewed, and safety will be reinforced with anti-injury protection systems on the pillars, benefiting both athletes and attendees. Regarding the interior installations, the electrical system will be updated to serve a new electronic scoreboard and control table, the low-voltage network will be expanded, and pre-installation for new sound and ventilation systems will be prepared.
