Sant Celoni gets its municipal swimming pool back twenty years later
Sant Celoni now has a new municipal swimming pool after two decades without this service. The facility, located in the Can Sans sports area, offers the town’s nearly 19,000 residents a public space to cool off, exercise, and enjoy the summer without leaving the municipality.
The facility will be open every day from 10:00 to 20:00 until 11 September. In addition to open swimming, the programme will include sports activities, activities aimed at young people, and a poolside library service for reading and relaxing by the water.
The complex features a 600-square-metre recreational pool, accessible by ramp and with a maximum depth of 1.60 metres. Next to it is a 185-square-metre children's pool, also adapted and designed for the youngest visitors.
The area is completed by a solarium of around 4,000 square metres, equipped with artificial grass, pergolas, and trees. The layout is designed to provide shaded areas and comfortable spaces for families, groups of friends, and users who want to spend several hours at the facility.
The service building includes access control, a first aid room, and changing rooms with individual and family cubicles. For this first season, a food truck will provide food and drink, while the bar restaurant with terrace is planned for next summer.
Access has also been improved with parking for 68 vehicles and reserved spaces for bicycles. The location within Can Sans allows the pool to be integrated with the rest of the municipality's sports facilities.
Admission is free for children under four. For other users, individual prices range from 4 to 6 euros depending on age and day, and there are also monthly, seasonal, and family passes available.
The opening responds to a local demand that has existed since the old pool closed in 2006. With this new facility, Sant Celoni expands its leisure and sports offering in a summer marked by high temperatures and the search for accessible public spaces.
