The City Park complex is really a sports centre within a sports centre. At the heart of the facility is the Mini-Arena, featuring one of the most modern artificial-grass football pitch in Budapest with stands and a scoreboard, as well as an adjoining basketball Mini-Arena.
Other multifunctional courts include one for foot tennis and volleyball, plus there’s table tennis, Teqball, boards for outdoor chess and the Hungarian game of malom, a climbing structure and wall, equipment for all kinds of street training and a skateboard run. One section of the two-kilometre jogging circuit around the City Park runs through the Sports Centre. Changing rooms, toilets, benches and bike racks also feature. In the pipeline are a botanical garden and exercise course for dogs.
Before September’s opening, all pitches and courts are being tested out by sportsmen. Kitti Szász, world freestyle-football champion, basketball-playing members of the Face Team Acrobatic Sports Theatre, and Teqball world champions Ádám Blázsovics and Csaba Bányik, were among those showing off their skills.
