Located in a convenient location at the intersection of Dirigabelnaya and Letnaya Streets, the Salyut stadium (Dolgoprudny) has undergone several reconstructions, and once even a transfer, over its considerable history. The sports facility was built and opened in the 30s of the last century. At that time, people were actively involved in physical education, and football was growing in popularity in the country. Local authorities decided to relocate the stadium, believing that it is an obstacle to the fruitful functioning of the outdoor summer venue.
The universal favorite of locals
For 10 years, city residents have been persuading authorities to transfer the Salyut stadium (Dolgoprudny) to their rightful historical place. When moving the stadium, large-scale construction work was carried out. You can consider them the first reconstruction of the object. The townspeople took an active part and offered themselves as assistants in the restoration of the sports and administrative parts of the stadium, as well as its functional areas.
The most recent reconstruction that the Salyut stadium (Dolgoprudny) underwent was completed already in the current millennium. Local residents got the opportunity to go to the stadium in the fall of 2008. The last opening of the reconstructed object took place at the city day ceremony and caused an enthusiastic reaction from those present. Soon the commissioned object became the home arena of local football players, whose team bears the proud name “Dolgie Prudy”.
Construction of a fitness center on the basis of the stadium
Soon, the city authorities decided to give the residents of Dolgoprudny a gift in the form of a whole fitness center. The new complex, as conceived by the project organizers, was to be located at the main sports base of Dolgoprudny (Salyut stadium).
Reviews looking forward to the opening of physical education lovers are only positive. They assumed the presence of modern infrastructure inside the facility and were not disappointed. Fans by that time already enjoyed increased comfort in the stands accommodating 6,000 people, and the players got the opportunity to train in good conditions. Everyone was happy, but not only the city lives on football.
Winter sports development and swimming promotion
Winter in Russia is traditionally long, the popularity of hockey is unbelievable. No self-respecting settlement can do without a good modern ice arena, swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts, modern gyms. It was decided to merge all these objects together within the framework of one project for the convenience of residents and place them under the arches of the city Dolgoprudny Stadium “Salyut”. The pool was supposed to exceed all the wildest expectations and forecasts. According to the designers' idea, the swimming complex is combined with an ice rink and makes visitors, as if by magic, move from paradise subtropics to an ice extravaganza.
The best stadium near Moscow
During construction, the complex was visited by numerous expert commissions that appreciated the infrastructure of the fitness center and recognized the facility as the best in the entire Moscow Region. The Salyut stadium (Dolgoprudny), which has European-level conditions, has earned the right to become a training ground for one of the teams of guests of the upcoming 2018 World Cup. It is a great honor for the whole city and the best assessment of the quality of the stadium. The authorities do not intend to stop on the construction of one sports complex, and soon plan to launch a project for another modern sports facility. Residents of the city warmly welcome the decision of the administration.
