Ready to dive into a story of recreation and revitalization? We are standing before Albercas CHAPINGO. It is more than just a swimming pool. It’s a hub of activity and a testament to community investment.
Albercas CHAPINGO serves students, staff and locals. The Universidad Autonoma Chapingo is committed to its community. This pool is proof of that commitment.
In 2009, the Alberca Olímpica at the Universidad Autonoma Chapingo underwent a major renovation. Aureliano Peña Lomelí, then rector, led the project. The goal was to benefit over 7,000 people connected to the university.
The updated Albercas CHAPINGO boasts cutting-edge technology. Solar panels heat the water to over 26 degrees Celsius. Heat pumps and updated facilities make it comfortable year-round. The entire structure is enclosed.
This renovation cost over 4 million pesos. But it was an investment in sustainability. The new technology reduces environmental impact. It also lowers maintenance costs.
Arturo Pérez Portillo, head of sports at UACh, emphasized its capacity. Albercas CHAPINGO can accommodate 150 people per hour. Priority is given to students. This helps prevent accidents during field activities.
Albercas CHAPINGO is open seven days a week. The opening times are between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.. Three swimming instructors and five social service personnel are on staff. They ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
But that’s not all. The wider Parque Recreativo Chapingo offers even more. There are green areas and heated pools. Toboggans and camping zones provide extra fun. You can even play gotcha or take summer courses here.
Located off the Mexico-Texcoco highway, it’s easily accessible. The Albercas CHAPINGO and Parque Recreativo Chapingo are well worth a visit. Whether you are a student or a family seeking fun.
So, as you plan your visit, remember Albercas CHAPINGO. It is a place where community, technology and recreation meet. It offers something for everyone.
