The rehabilitation project for the Quinta das Pratas Swimming Complex, located in Cartaxo, is scheduled to begin by the end of October. With an estimated execution period of 24 months, the intervention represents a substantial investment of 3,365,500 euros. The primary objective is to restore and modernize this sports facility, considered essential for the local community.
A preparatory meeting for the works, held on October 14th, facilitated the necessary procedures for the project's commencement. The Mayor of Cartaxo, João Ferreira Heitor, highlighted the significance of this intervention, which will provide the community with a significantly improved space, prepared to meet current demands.
“"We are going to recover a facility that is deeply degraded and obsolete, creating conditions of safety, comfort, and accessibility for everyone. This intervention will allow us to modernize the facilities and equipment, eliminate mobility barriers, and improve energy efficiency, focusing on solutions that promote durability and environmental sustainability."
The project includes measures focused on enhancing energy efficiency, benefiting from community funding. The mayor emphasized the crucial role the pools play in community life, from teaching swimming and sports practice to promoting health and well-being.
João Ferreira Heitor underscored the importance of the facility for families, schools, and programs aimed at the senior population, reiterating the commitment to provide a renewed, accessible environment prepared for all age groups. The redevelopment aims to establish the complex as a landmark facility in the municipality, improving conditions for sports practice and enhancing the quality of life for residents.
