Polideportivo Marchalenes

➯➯ This sports center is next to the Commenius Educational Center, and has, among other things, several tennis courts, an indoor paddle tennis court, a 5-a-side football pitch, an indoor pavilion for fitness or gymnastics activities, an indoor swimming pool, a 7-a-side football pitch and an artificial turf football pitch. The facilities are quite well maintained and clean. At the top of the pool, where you wait for the children to finish their classes, there is a small bar where you can have a drink, with a glass window where you can see them in the pool with the instructors, which is what I liked the most.🔴🌕🌕🔴

Neglected facilities, the soccer field is made of patches of old, unusable and dangerous grass. But by far the worst thing is the attention at reception, the person who is there in the afternoons couldn't be more unpleasant and disagreeable with the children. They arrive early to play on the field, which is empty at that time, and she doesn't let the kids pass, who come with all their enthusiasm. So, all joy.

Pool in a deplorable state, without maintenance for more than 15 years. If you want to catch a good infection, you don't need to go to India. Ideal for taking sick leave from work due to serious illness.

The complex has a budget and facility maintenance problem. A staff that, as usual, is friendly and impeccably polite. But as far as the pool is concerned, it is very neglected; old changing rooms, deficient bathrooms, with rusty and dirty lockers, also the floor is dirty, black in fact... going without flip-flops would be suicide. Showers that don't work, construction holes in walls that don't seem to be progressing. The walls are peeling, with dampness, they don't even have money for a coat of paint... In short, it doesn't invite you to go, it's a pool that I have next to my house and I go to others further away, I avoid it... And it's a shame, because I feel well attended to in the personal treatment when I go.

I went to play tennis and ended up hiking. The courts are so destroyed that each bounce of the ball is a surprise: you never know if it will bounce, deviate... or disappear into one of the craters. The ground looks like an old road from the 70s, full of cracks and potholes worthy of archaeological study. The lighting is worthy of a horror movie: lights so dim that playing at night is basically trusting your instinct and luck. And the trees help, of course, blocking the few spotlights that still survive. The funniest thing is that they charge the same as a decent sports center, which shows that institutional sarcasm exists. In short: an unforgettable experience... if you are looking to practice extreme tennis. It is a shame that the city council allows playing in such a disaster.
