In the case of Llefià, 1,025,000 euros have been invested to carry out actions on the facades and roofs, the acquisition of new equipment, the improvement of the facilities and interior actions such as the remodeling of changing rooms and public toilets, incorporating adapted spaces for people with reduced mobility.
The mayor of Badalona, Rubén Guijarro, explained that "with the performances in this pavilion and in other city facilities we want to match the quality and excellence that the city's clubs and athletes demonstrate year after year" . Guijarro has remarked that "we continue working so that all the sports facilities in the city can be improved after years of poor maintenance."
