Santo Domingo.- The President Luis Abinader led the delivery of the renovated facilities of Club Luperón, accompanied by the Minister of Sports, Kelvin Cruz.
The act marked the reopening of a sports space that had been over two decades without receiving significant attention.
The work covers over 1,200 square meters renovated. With these improvements, the community is returned a worthy scenario for sports practice and family recreation.
To preserve the investment, Minister Kelvin Cruz took an oath of a volunteer group that will be in charge of its vigilance and care.
Cruz highlighted that the work was a longing of the residents of Ensanche Luperón and surrounding areas. He recalled that over 22 years had passed since the club had not received interventions of this type, so he qualified the delivery as a day of celebration for the sector.
The Minister informed that, in addition to this remodeling, three new multi-purpose projects have already been initiated in different communities. He emphasized the commitment of President Abinader to sports and Dominican youth.
The remodelling included the installation of a maple wood backboard certified by FIBA, the construction of bleachers, administrative offices, dressing rooms and improvements in the outdoor areas. The metal structure of the building was also repaired.
The club president, Carlos Báez, thanked the Government’s effort and assured that the new multi-purpose hall will be a space where “many illusions will be born” for the young people of the community.
The event was attended by sports figures such as Luisín Mejía, president of Centro Caribe Sports; Garibaldy Bautista, president of the Dominican Olympic Committee; and Rafael Uribe, president of the Basketball Federation. The ceremony was blessed by Father Nelson Acevedo.
The facilities were equipped with modern scoreboards, digital whiteboard, 24-second clock and new seats for fans. Additionally, painting work, asphalt carpet, perimeter closure and electrical installations were carried out.
With this delivery, Ensanche Luperón recovers a renovated multi-purpose hall, which not only strengthens sports practice, but also serves as a community meeting point to promote social integration and youth development.
