The architectural project consists of the construction of a roof for a sports court that has an approximate area of 2,200 m2. On the short sides of the track there are two small buildings of approximately 170 m² of surface area to locate the changing rooms. One of these constructions has a roof terrace accessible to the public.

The roof has been solved with 33 meters span  trusses arranged every 7.40 meters and supported on the steel pillars that are on the perimeter of the track. Between the pillars that support the trusses, additional pillars have been added following the requirements of the architecture.

All trusses are made up of a tractioned tubular lower chords and two compressed tubular upper chords forming parabolic arches. The cords are connected with diagonally arranged tubes set out according to the geometry of the architecture.
