SPORT
Sport is an important and healthy occasion for physical activity
and for meeting new people, especially for young people.
Associations deals with this field and make their contribution to
the community.
Associations and Voluntary service are a wealth and an important
resource for all community, both for the idea and organization of
sport and for the involvement of the citizens in their activities.
The administration of Chignolo d’isola directly cooperates with
Associations and voluntary service by creating and putting the most
suitable structures at disposal of the whole population.
 |
The territory of Chignolo d’isola offers sports centres which
are either municipal or private, but for public use.
Such facilities, described hereunder, have recently been
linked with the historical centre of Chignolo by means of
panoramic stairs, just to let people reach the sport centre
easier without bumping into traffic jam. |
|
Furthermore a new parking has been built near the stairs as
service for the sports centre. |
 |
|
Even though built in 1982, the building is still perfectly
functioning and in compliance with norms. It belongs to the
primary school but it is also attended by the Association
“Polisportiva Chignolese” for Basket and Volley matches.
|
 |
This association runs the centre together with the municipal
authority.
 |
The councillor of sports organizes courses of aerobics and
gymnastic for adults and children. The gym s equipped for
volley, basket, soccer, tennis, handball, free gymnastic with
different apparatus. It is provided with double changing-rooms
and a changing room for referees and with a 150 seat stand. |
|
The centre was built in 2002 in a zone next to the secondary
school and to the Cultural Centre with the cinema. The
structure is made of a polyvalent in-door ground provided with
heating where you can play soccer, volley, tennis or simply
watching matches on the 80 seat stand. The changing-room are
located in the adjoining gym of the secondary school. The
centre is run by the association “Polisportiva Chignolese –
Calcetto section”. |
 |
Next to the polyvalent centre you can find the bowl ground. Even
this structure is in-door and completed of heating, which allows its
use throughout the year.
 |
It is the ideal meeting point for the so-called “no longer
young” people, who, besides playing their favourite game, also
have the possibility to meet other people and make friends,
maybe playing cards in the bar run by voluntaries.
Even this centre is run by the “Polisportiva Chignolese –
section bowl club”. |
 |
The centre is located in the secondary school and used by
students for gym and volley activities. Out of school times,
the gym is attended by adults during the gym courses organized
by the Sports committee. |
|
The centre consists of a regular grass 11-ground and a sand
7-ground. It is completed with a building which houses the
changing-rooms, storing rooms and the social seat of the
“Polisportiva Chignolese”. A covered stand with about 200
seats is available for audience. |
 |
 |
The centre also has got at its disposal outer areas which are
often used for popular festivals and concerts organized by the
“Polisportiva Chignolese”. The centre is owned by the Parish
but led by the Public Administration and run by the
Polisportiva Chignolese.
|
|
In these sports facilities, private but for public use (known
as Hare Krishna village), swimming courses for adults and
children are organized, besides the possibility to practise
free swimming.
|
 |
 |
Swimming isn’t the only activity offered by this facility
which gives also the possibility to attend gym courses in
water and sessions for the muscle recovery and massages.
The public use of this private structure, founded thanks to
the approval of the municipal administration, is regulated by
a convention signed in 1999 which foresees also discounts for
Chignolo inhabitants.
|
 |
The discount, which is permanent and equal to 5%, may also
increase to 30% for primary and secondary school classes of
Chignolo d’Isola.
