Basketball courts already have a FIBA certificate attesting to their compliance with European standards, and the largest sand volleyball court has been adapted for international level competitions. On the occasion of the official opening, representatives of extreme sports also organized performances: well-known skateboarders, BMX cyclists and basketball players, volleyball players and table tennis teachers representing schools and sports clubs in the capital. Professional-led lessons also awaited the audience.
“This time, it is better to have fewer languages, more points,” Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius said at the opening of the White Bridge Square. “All the renovated grounds are for you, I want to love the restored space to be an active and lively leisure area in the city, and for the new sports talent to be born here during outdoor training and the restored space is an inspiration to great sporting achievements. “
“Finally, we have a renovated and modern space that meets the needs of citizens, where activities will appear for everyone. Fans will be able to play with high quality, and athletes will be able to train on standards-compliant volleyball courts and skate parks. international, where Vilnius will be able to organize high level competitions. We do not forget the team of our city – “Ryto”, so we decorate the basketball courts with the paraphernalia of the team. In this way, we want to encourage all residents of the capital to get tired of your club and be proud of it, ”said Valdas Benkunskas, vice mayor of the city.
Along with the renovated more convenient sports infrastructure, space has been left for future activities to be created by Vilnius residents and city guests. The mostly free grassed space in the eastern part of the territory is an unofficial reserve for other activities. The difference in height of the course was used to install amphitheatres next to the sports areas. A similar slope is formed at the pier, where seats are installed, and a pontoon platform is installed in front of them in the water. The platform can be used not only for events, but also for mooring boats. Kayakers have been using a specially installed port for them for several months.
Additional ramps (ramps) have been installed on the dock, divided into intermediate sites, thus adapting the space for people with disabilities and parents who push wheelchairs with children. At the bottom of the docks, the choice of solutions was mainly determined by the probability of a spring glacier, when the water pushes the river bed with great force along with the ice sexes. With this in mind, the lighting on the bunk beds, patio coverings, and other smaller items (such as railings, benches, trash cans, etc.) were designed to maintain a safe distance from the water.
As Vilnius residents comfortably spend their free time in the renovated sports and leisure infrastructure, the White Bridge site improvement contractor will complete the reinforcement of the rain-affected slopes and improve the rain collection system. There is still construction going on at the kayak harbor entrances, however kayakers have been using it continuously for several months.
“We have another attractive leisure and sports space in the city: every day I see a lot of people pass by here and that makes me very happy.” Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project and I wish you good sports and recreation. And I think the space itself will pleasantly surprise us time and time again, ”said Povilas Poderskis, director of city administration.
In the large meadow near the White Bridge, where it is common to see not only rising families, but also rising balloons, this year you will be asked to use the conservation mode, thinking of the grass that has not yet been strengthened. Adjusted meadow relief is expected to be more convenient for visitors to this area: after cleaning the ground, the bottom of the slope will rise to the pier. Not only with the monsoon rains, but also with the exceptional summer heat, the fact that there was no shortage of jobs for the caretakers before the opening: the flower gardens and bushes were already weeds, the newly planted grass was hardly short.
