Baguio Athletic Bowl Soon to Become a World-Class Sport Facility

Cordillera - The city government of Baguio is now working on to making one of the known landmark in the city, the Baguio Athletic Bowl to a world-class sport  facility.

The agency that was tasked to study the project is now finalizing the details and it said that the proposed plan could cost around P4.3 billion.

The project will be undertaken under the public-private partnership (PPP) after all the requirements have been finalized.

Under the Term of Reference dated September 2012 the city council of Baguio approved the development of the following facilities to be of international standards:

- reconstruction of the grandstand to accommodate 4,000 - 5,000 seats

- reconstruction of  indoor swimming pool

- reconstruction of  tennis court, table tennis and basketball court

- building of indoor simulation golf range, convention rooms, restaurants and sports-related shops.

The proposed project also includes construction of lightning system for night games and bleachers that can accommodate 3,000 people.

It can be recalled that the City Council ordered the City Building and Architecture Office (CBAO) to submit the development plan as the legislative body  expressed fear that budget  will go to waste if not used.
