In the newly built sports, family, and leisure center, additional sports offerings were introduced alongside grass and artificial turf football fields, including facilities for stock sports, tennis, beach volleyball, and ice skating. Two strategically positioned buildings underscore the importance of public use of the center, with the grandstand building serving as the focal point upon arrival, followed by the multi-purpose hall situated behind it. Oriented north-south, these buildings maximize playing and training areas around them.
A spacious staircase leads to the elevated grandstand, with adjacent facilities such as the multifunctional room and canteen designed to be open and transparent. Changing rooms and ancillary spaces are located below, with interconnected building volumes facilitating easy access to surrounding sports areas. The multi-purpose hall, designed for versatility, incorporates materials and constructions inspired by traditional local architecture, with a focus on timber construction adapted to modern needs.
