Especially in July of last year. The Spanish Federation has decided to withdraw approval of the Tossal track and field after three years of warning of a lack of maintenance. Cracks and damage on the surface so endanger the safety of athletes that many runners have to travel to other cities to train and compete.
Socialists point out that The government team added an economic item of over 266,000 euros to its 2022 budget amendment to reform the athletics track. But they warn that the practice has ended and “not a single euro has been deposited”. No amount has been allocated for this 2023, so they assume the road will “continue in the same sad state” as before. The Municipal Group also claims that the surrounding area is “dirty, dry and neglected, and that the grass on the launch area, which was previously used as a football field for Alicante teams, has not been cut for weeks”.
The same is happening in The Vía Parque football field, where official matches have not been played since last March, which the Valencia Community Football Federation banned due to existing shortcomingsaffected five clubs. Close to 500 youngsters use this facility for training and numerous accidents have been recorded due to damage to the pitch.
Councilor Eduardo Rodríguez argues: “Although some of the undercuts are patched, the tire on the grass melts only when rubbing and accumulates in certain areas because it is not maintained”. In addition, the lack of irrigation “has accelerated the degradation of artificial turf and the nets surrounding the pitch are torn,” adding that the government of Luis Barcala “has made absolutely no investment in adapting the football field to the football field.” In the new season, Garbinet has not been able to fulfill the million euros allocated for La Cigüeña and Tómbola courses”.

In the words of the councillor, “children and young people will again suffer the consequences. Alicante deserves safe facilities befitting a big city”.
