Centre de loisirs du Petit Port has facility swimming pool
History
The complex was built in 1984 and originally consisted of an ice rink, a swimming pool, a billiard hall and a bowling center, in addition to various catering options. Prior to being incorporated into the Petit Port project, the ice rink was planned as a separate facility, next to the city's mediatheque in downtown Nantes.In the early 2000s, an extension incorporating resort-like features for both the ice rink and swimming pool was considered. However, the swimming pool's technical layout made the extension impractical. Instead the original pool was closed, and a new one was built from scratch to the east, on the complex's last vacant side. Save for standard renovations, the ice rink was left unchanged. The revamp—pegged at €17.2 million—was completed in two phases across 2007 and 2008.In 2009, the billiards hall and bowling center shut down due to increased competition from suburban operators which, following the closure of the old swimming pool, left the southern part of the complex virtually empty.The unoccupied premises were zoned for a day care center and a 2500 m2 play park consisting of five discovery zones, each dedicated to a different family of sports. However, when several downtown clubs were displaced to the Petit Port by safety issues affecting their historic venue, the play park was cancelled and replaced with a set of gyms matching their activities. The remodel, which also optimized the ice rink's backstage space, was completed in 2017 at a cost of €5.2 million.From its inception in 1984, the center has used a photovoltaic system, which was expanded during a 2010 renovation of the ice rink's roof, bringing its total surface to 1160 m2.
