The Moscow government has reviewed proposals to create year-round sports grounds of a new format. Following the discussion, Sergei Sobyanin ordered the first 11 of them to be completed by the upcoming winter season — one in each administrative district. As a result, more than 100,000 Muscovites will receive a new quality level of sports infrastructure within walking distance from their homes.

The main advantage of the new format sites will be the possibility of full-fledged year-round use. Thanks to the use of modern technologies, as well as thoughtful equipment, they can be quickly prepared for winter use and vice versa. With the help of special embedded parts, to which the posts and gates are attached, the sites are transformed in the summer for playing basketball, volleyball, badminton or football. In winter, they will be used for recreational skating and hockey.

A professional board made of monolithic polycarbonate with a special scratch-resistant coating will be mounted along the perimeter of the hockey boxes. During the day, due to the transparency of the boards, the rinks will fit harmoniously into the surrounding space. And in the evening, they will be decorated with light-dynamic architectural lighting.

Four smart multifunctional supports will be installed near each site, on which full-color backlighting lamps and two types of projectors will be placed. This will create a pleasant atmosphere during sports and festive events and even organize small light shows. Audio systems, video cameras, sports floodlights and track lighting lamps will also be mounted on the supports.

The multifunctional pavilions will house changing rooms, a café with a summer terrace, a medical post, toilets, a security room, a garage with ice-resurfacing equipment, a single-block refrigeration unit with a recuperation system, i.e. the ability to reuse energy, as well as utility rooms. The pavilions will be equipped with the necessary furniture, equipment and sports equipment. Utilities (electricity, cooling, water supply, etc.) servicing the sports grounds will be hidden in underground collectors, and only compact service pavilions will remain on the surface.

In the future, the experience gained during the creation of the first 11 sites is planned to be applied in other areas of the city.
