The municipality of Avinyonet del Penedès celebrated the inauguration of its new municipal summer pool and two padel courts last Saturday. These new facilities mark the completion of phase IV of the Municipal Sports Complex, solidifying it as a key venue for sports and leisure in the Alt Penedès region.
With this expansion, the City Council aims to promote healthy lifestyles, encourage sports participation, and enhance the well-being and social cohesion of its residents. The complex already features a grass football pitch, the new padel courts, two swimming pools, changing rooms, a bar, and space designated for a future gymnasium.
The new swimming pool is designed as a modern and sustainable space, featuring saltwater, an integrated jacuzzi, and careful landscaping that blends with the surrounding pine trees and vineyards. It is also designed with future climate control in mind, potentially allowing for year-round use.
“"This project is designed for the people of Avinyonet, for the sport, health, and social cohesion of our municipality, and conceived for present and future generations to enjoy."
The inauguration event included an open house and institutional speeches, attended by the delegate president of the Infrastructure and Territory Area of the Barcelona Provincial Council, Sergi Vallès i Domingo; the Councilor for Sports, Laia Ràfols de Pascual; and the Mayor, Cèsar Herráiz i Pujol. The celebration concluded with a musical vermouth by the band The Beatboys.
The new facilities have been operational since Monday, and the summer pool will remain open to the public until August 30th.
