Centro Deportivo Raúl González to renovate pools and install air conditioning
Centro Deportivo Municipal Raúl González is undergoing a major renovation that will modernise much of its facilities. The project, with an investment of three million euros, will improve the indoor pools, changing rooms, and other spaces frequently used by residents in the south of Madrid.
The works will continue until the end of 2026 and include a complete renovation of the indoor pools. The pool basins and surrounding areas will be resurfaced, new grates will be installed, and the water treatment and fire protection systems will be updated to comply with current regulations.
One of the most anticipated changes is the installation of air conditioning in the sports hall. This improvement will allow for more comfortable conditions for sports during the hottest months, a frequent request from users of the centre.
The renovation also includes upgrades to the electrical and plumbing systems, as well as the replacement of the old dehumidifier located in the basement. These measures aim to improve the building’s efficiency and reduce future maintenance issues.
The changing rooms and communal areas will receive new finishes, ceilings, and carpentry to provide more functional and comfortable spaces. In addition, a maintenance staircase will be installed to access the roof, and several concrete walls in the basement that have had problems for years will be repaired.
Centro Deportivo Municipal Raúl González is one of the leading sports facilities in the south of the capital. Every week it welcomes families, clubs, and local residents who use its facilities for swimming, training, or taking part in organised activities.
With this project, the City Council aims to extend the useful life of the complex and adapt it to the current needs of its users. The modernisation will provide safer, more efficient facilities that are better equipped to meet the high demand for sports in the district in the coming years.
