The Vila de Rei Municipal Pools are located in the Cidreiro urbanization, within the Carrascal equipment zone. Their location is strategic, situated opposite the Escola Básica Integrada do Centro de Portugal, which provides the space with a practical and easily accessible setting within the locality of Vila de Rei.
This complex offers visitors two distinct facilities: an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. The indoor pool, operational since late 2001, offers heated water, ideal for year-round use, and measures 16 by 9 meters, allowing for free swimming and various aquatic activities. The outdoor pool is an additional option, particularly pleasant during the warmer months, complementing the complex's offerings.
The facilities were designed for the comfort and support of all users. They include changing rooms and showers for pre-activity preparation and post-activity hygiene. Accessibility was a key concern in the planning of the space, featuring ramps and adequately wide doors to facilitate movement. There are also adapted bathrooms for people with reduced mobility. In addition, support aids such as mobile shower chairs, flotation vests, and safety rings are available, emphasizing a supportive and safe environment for pool users.
The Vila de Rei Municipal Pools represent a fundamental space for leisure and sports activities within the local community. As a place for residents to socialize, they also attract visitors seeking moments of sport and relaxation in an aquatic environment. Their presence in the town strengthens the offering of infrastructure dedicated to well-being and physical activity, establishing themselves as a valued resource for those who live in and visit Vila de Rei.
