City Park sports centre opens

The new Budapest City Park sports centre built on a 3.5-hectare plot of land near the intersection of Ajtosi Durer Street and Dozsa Gyorgy Street as part of the Liget Budapest programme is being handed over to the public tomorrow. The outdoor sports centre will be Budapest's most versatile, catering to a dozen sports in a spruced-up green environment, the Varosliget Zrt's chief executive, Benedek Gyorgyevics, said. The centre contains an artificial grass football pitch with grandstand, a basketball arena, three multifunctional sports fields, a gym, a climbing wall and ping-pong tables, among other facilities that include full access for the disabled.
