RECOGNIZING the growing demand for work-life balance among city-dwellers, Ortigas & Company has moved to address such, building sport facilities in the heart of Quezon City geared towards promoting a healthy lifestyle.
CV Sports Hub, located at Circulo Verde, a 10-hectare mixed-use estate in Quezon City, is a multi-use recreational sports center designed to complement the lifestyle of the active and healthy community, as well as sports enthusiasts.
Making it different from the usual sports and training facilities in the metro which are located in enclosed areas, CV Sports Hub offers “open breathable spaces” for sports and fitness enthusiasts to thrive in and enjoy. The recreational sports center also takes in pride in being built within a green community.
The CV Sports Hub offers three top-notch facilities now, namely, The Bike Playground, CV Quad and CV Pitch, which cater to different interests of sports enthusiasts.
The Bike Playground, open since 2017, is a one-of-a-kind cycling facility since it is the only indoor asphalt pump track in the Philippines. It was designed by Vesolutions, a global leader in pump track and trail building, and includes a one-kilometer outdoor trail and a kids’ track for all skill levels and types of bicycles.
It was the venue for the Red Bull Pump Track Series Philippine Qualifier in 2018, and the Red Bull Pump Track World Championship Philippine qualifier this year.
The CV Quad, meanwhile, is a convertible court suited for those looking for a venue for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and futsal games.
Handlers of the facilities said at the CV Quad players are able to feel what it is like to play in international quadrangles with the area’s FIBA-based system, LED lighting, electronic scoreboard, and shot clock.
The CV Quad’s flooring is optimized with Decoflex sports floor — a type of flooring resilient to the demands of sports for optimum playability and durability.
A football field within a green estate is what CV Pitch offers.
Opened in March this, the CV Pitch is a FIFA standard-sized field with a sand-based Princess 77 Bermuda natural grass.
The pitch was the official field used by the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 81 Women’s Football.
