President Leonel Fernández will inaugurate Puerto Plata’s brand new multi-use sports pavilion that is part of the Gregorio Luperón sports center. The RD$63.8 million pavilion with capacity for 5,000 seated sports fans is part of the complex that also includes a soccer field, and another indoors multi-use facility. Construction of the sports center was begun in the government of former President Joaquín Balaguer. The works had been abandoned for some three years, despite being half-way built, and are being completed by Fernández administration. The new facilities are for the practice of basketball, volleyball, judo, karate, soccer, ping pong, wrestling, weight lifting, tae kwon do and other sports.
