Mijas to get a new massive sports complex

Mijas council have advanced plans to build a state-of-the-art sports facility in the Dos Elías area of town. The development will provide residents with modern indoor and outdoors sports facilities, as they can also watch large scale sporting events.

Location and Site Details

Construction has targeted two adjacent municipal plots totalling over 11,300 square metres – one plot measuring 4,510 m² for the covered pavilion, the other covering 6,826 m² dedicated to outdoor leisure areas.

Key indoor facilities

Plans feature a unique covered multi-sports pavilion. Fans of basketball and handball will enjoy high-quality indoor installation. Three grandstands will provide ample seating for spectators during public events. Other amenities include a yoga room, changing facilities and medical offices. A moveable partition allows simultaneous training or competitions for several teams in disciplines such as artistic gymnastics. Designers have also considered a long-court layout with grandstands on both sides.

Sports and green space

The project includes an Olympic-size pool that meets national competition standards. Users will also enjoy a cutting-edge 7-aside football pitch on artificial turf.

To complement the outdoor activities, two padel courts will be built. Green zones will include trees, gardens and pathways, as well as benches, pergolas and lighting at night. There will also a playground dedicated to children and a covered marquee for spectators of open-air activities.

Underground parking is a solution for those who want to park their car underground.
