Beach Volleyball Park in Cabo Rojo

Beach Volleyball Park in Cabo Rojo, PR

The Beach Volleyball facility, located in Balneario Boquerón in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, is one of many facilities that were developed to serve as hosts for the “Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe” and to later serve future international Beach Volleyball competitions. The project consisted in the construction of concrete bleachers for a capacity 435 spectators, and temporary bleachers for another 1,800 people. Four beach volleyball courts with pre-selected sand and equipment serve as the main event of the project. Electrical and plumbing installations accommodated throughout the site serve a variety of concession stands, temporary press rooms and medical offices located around the facility. A new landscape ties the project together to provide the Beach Volleyball events with a comfortable ambiance. One of the major challenges of the project was locating the plan in its context while maintaining abundant vegetation and accommodating a large program. Combining program spaces and using temporary structures allowed for this design to be efficiently accomplished.
