This Monday, June 11, Mayor Alejandro Char inspected the progress of the construction works of the La Magdalena sports center, located in the neighborhood that bears his same name, southeast of Barranquilla.
The president pointed out that this iconic field, where great athletes have been trained, is a “mega project” that will have the best spaces for the practice of different sports. “We came to the La Magdalena neighborhood to review how the sports center works are progressing. I tell you that this looks very good, we are building a tremendous sports complex for our people from all over the southeast,” the mayor published on his X account.
During the inspection, the mayor, who was accompanied by Óscar Marriaga, rector of the Marco Fidel Suárez school, was satisfied when evaluating the details of the sports project, which will have 31,532 square meters, as well as the verification of the school’s infrastructure, which will be intervened to optimize student learning.
“I am so happy to be here. This project includes two sand soccer fields, which is very important, and a youth baseball field up to the first category. In addition, there will be a professional skating rink, an element that the people of southeastern Barranquilla have been asking for. We want the Marco Fidel Suárez school to be integrated into the park and the park to be integrated into the school. It is much more sports space for Barranquilla. “I am very happy to socialize this project again, we are already under construction, the works have already begun,” said the president.
