Opened in 1996, this sports ground and swimming pool complex is popular in the summer months. If your children like the idea of playing with jets of water coming out from the mouth of a sea serpent, they will not be disappointed with the colorful fountains and slides. There is an indoor training pool with a pirate ship, and an outdoor leisure pool with animal-shaped slides and water guns.
