A skateboarding park with three levels of difficulty is one of the plans for the future Loulé Municipal Park, whose restoration should begin in November. The work, for which three million euros have been budgeted, includes a 1200 square metre artificial lake with an elevated bar/terrace and an 18-hole mini-golf course where it will be possible to hold competitions.
In addition, the building of the Quinta do Pombal will be restored and it will house the future House of Culture. A big, new playground is another of the planned investments as well as the installation of specific equipment for sporting activities for the elderly. Work will also be done on the Cine-Theatre The Loulé local authority has also announced that work on the Cine-Teatro Louletano will probably begin at the end of March; the plan is to adapt the venue to the new needs of audiences. In addition to increasing the size of the stage, which will be completely demolished, new balconies and foyers will be built and a new area of dressing-rooms. Once the work is complete, which is planned to take 540 days, the theatre will have a maximum seating capacity of 350. According to the local government executive, it should be possible to open the renewed venue before the end of the current term in office, in 2009. The restoration of the Cine-Teatro Louletano has a budget of close to three and a half million euros. source: the algarve observer |
