The project, supported financially by the Generalitat de Catalunya (€308,000) and the Diputació de Girona (€50,000), has a total budget of nearly €450,000. The works include comprehensive roof repair, reinforcement of the false ceiling, installation of rainwater grates, and the complete replacement of over 1,000 square meters of parquet flooring.
Work began in the summer with the repair of the rainwater grate and the roof, and this week the parquet replacement has started, expected to finish in January. To minimize the impact on sports activities, the Olot Sports Area has coordinated with clubs to find alternative venues, ensuring competitions are not halted.
This intervention is part of the municipal sports facilities improvement plan, coinciding with Olot's designation as European City of Sport 2026. The aim is to provide more modern, accessible, and efficient facilities.
The mayor of Olot, Agustí Arbós, highlighted that the works represent a key renovation to guarantee the city's sports quality, while the Councillor for Sports, Aniol Sellabona, emphasized the commitment to local sports clubs and improving athletes' daily experience.
