Interview with Marcin Jakubowski

The opening of a new sports facility in Minsk Mazowiecki is an important step in the development of the city's infrastructure and the integration of the local community. The Municipal Sports Center responds to the growing needs of residents and the dynamic development of local clubs, becoming an important point on the sports map of the region.

What social and economic benefits will the opening of this new sports facility bring to the city?

The opening of the new sports facility will primarily bring social benefits for Minsk Mazowiecki. It will satisfy the high demand for sports infrastructure, which is crucial with the growing number of clubs and organizations. The Municipal Sports Center will not only strengthen the motivation of young people to take up physical activity, but is also an answer to the problems young people face: exclusion, depression or feelings of loneliness. What's more, the scale of the investment will allow the organization of sports events of national scope, which will contribute to the promotion of the city, and strengthen local clubs and players in the role of hosts.

We do not expect financial benefits from the operation of the facility. It is the city's contribution to the development of sports. It will be open to everyone, serving not only the city's residents, but also those of the district and province.

How does this facility fit into Minsk Mazowiecki's sports infrastructure development strategy for future years?

This facility fits perfectly into Minsk Mazowiecki's sports infrastructure development strategy for future years. It is an implementation of the tasks written in the city's development strategy, which includes the development of sports infrastructure as one of the key areas. It responds to the growing needs and interest of residents in sports, which confirms our commitment to meet their expectations.

What activities are planned for the inauguration of the facility to attract as many residents as possible and encourage them to actively use the new infrastructure?

On September 14, we are planning an event that will last all afternoon and will be packed with activities. Since the facility was created on the initiative of Minsk organizations promoting parkour, rollerblading, skateboarding and BMX, it is their representatives that we have invited to co-create the opening event.

The event will begin with an official part with the participation of representatives of the city, county, Ministry of Sports, the Marshal's Office of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, the Polish Roller Sports Association and local associations. This will be followed by demonstrations by sports stars from all over Poland with musical accompaniment by a DJ. In between shows, we will be turning to the stage to listen to panel discussions with experts and interviews with athletes. At the same time, there will be rollerblading, skateboarding, parkour and BMX workshops. The evening will conclude with a concert - the star of the evening will be the Polish hip-hop group JWP, and suport will be provided by YSF - Young School Familia, a local band practicing the same musical genre.

However, the inauguration is not only about the attractions planned for September 14. The very next day there will be a Roller Mazowsze Marathon and a Parkour Speen & Flow competition. A week later, we are planning a Weekend of Extreme Sports and the Polish Championships in Aggressive Rollerblading, skateboarding and scooter competitions. It's going to be a lot of action.

Thanks for the interview and see you at the opening!

The opening of a new sports facility in Minsk Mazowiecki is not only an upgrade of infrastructure, but above all an opportunity to integrate residents and promote the city on the national stage. The inauguration promises to be extremely attractive - there will be something for both extreme sports enthusiasts and those looking for new forms of activity. Thanks to this investment, Minsk Mazowiecki will gain a space that will serve the local community for years to come, inspiring an active and healthy lifestyle.
