Santa Cruz de Tenerife Approves Demolition of Acidalio Lorenzo Pool Stand for Modernization

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is moving forward with plans to modernize its sports facilities. The local government has officially approved the demolition of the west stand at the Acidalio Lorenzo swimming pool. The project, which aims to revitalize the area around the pool, has a budget of 439,465 euros and is expected to take four months to complete.

Designed by Annika Schollin Arquitectos, the project was recently cleared by the Sports Logistics and Infrastructure Section after addressing several technical requirements. Beyond simply removing the old stand, the plan includes improving accessibility, restoring local greenery, and conducting a geotechnical study to prepare the site for future use.

Mayor José Manuel Bermúdez stated that this project is part of a broader strategy to update the city’s public facilities, noting that the Acidalio Lorenzo pool remains a vital sports hub for the capital. Alicia Cebrián, the head of the Sports department, acknowledged the complexity of the administrative process, explaining that a thorough review was necessary to ensure the project met all current technical and budgetary standards.

This work addresses a long-standing request to improve public spaces and reflects the local government’s commitment to prioritizing municipal infrastructure. The demolition is a key step in ensuring the safety and long-term functionality of one of the city’s most iconic sports venues.
