Enjoy outdoor sports, encourage other sports or spend time with family or friends. This is the innovative leisure and sports space of Ajofrín, with two modalities: climbing and a skate area (scooter) will soon be expanded, which has had the support of the Montes de Toledo Rural Development Group with an aid of 17,905 euros ( 75% of the total eligible investment) for its start-up.
The mayor of Ajofrín, Marisa Alguacil, explains that “there are 50 square meters of stable surface, foundation and impact floor for the climbing block, which has been very popular among the neighbors who come to enjoy this sport.”
“The main objective of this project? Expand and promote another type of sport that, in this case, is an outdoor climbing block in a park so that all the boys and girls come and try another different activity, clarifies the mayor of the town.
«Climbing is a sport that not only exercises strength, grip, flexibility…, but also the mind, because the child has to develop strategies to reach the top or go down. In addition, climbing has been in fashion since Alberto Ginés was proclaimed Olympic climbing champion »says Marisa Alguacil.
