The centre is thus structured:
The main buildings “A”, “B” and “C”, which were built prior to 1964, have a masonry structure with concealed installations. The buildings “D” and “E”, on the other hand, are prefabricated structures with visible installations. The outdoor area, also used as a dance floor, located between buildings “A” and “B”, is equipped with an (obsolete) mobile roof with a metal structure and fabric cover.
The three tennis courts are in red clay on a loose stone foundation and are in good condition. Courts 1 and 2 were built in 1964 while court no. 3 was completed in 1986. All tennis courts are enclosed by a high wire mesh fence. They are served by an independent sewage system with cast iron drains for the entire perimeter, inspection and man access chambers and drainage pipes. The two central courts (1 and 2) are equipped with night lighting systems. At present, the sports centre is usable, in good general condition and functional in all its parts with the exception of the following: sauna, gym, bar and shelter for boats.
