JALON Council is set to invest more than €400,000 in new sporting equipment in the town.
Improvements include the construction of a new openair sports court located behind the Centro Social. The project has been put out to tender for €76,000, with work expected to begin this month and take three months to complete.
The court will have the required size to practise fiveaside football, handball, basketball, tennis and volleyball. In addition, a new multipurpose hall will be built in the municipal sports centre, with a budget of €70,000 and set to be completed by November.
These new installations will be used for various activities including yoga, pilates, taichi and Zumba classes, among others.
The municipal swimming pool will be improved with a new water treatment system known as saline electrolysis, which is said to have benefits for users’ health, the environment and energy consumption, and should be ready before the summer. Other pool improvements will include cutting down palm trees affected by the red weevil pest, planting new trees for shade, and fixing the outside fence.
