Tomsk - one of the oldest cities in Siberia, is a regional center for sports competitions and cultural events. All this takes place at the Sports Palace.
Cultural institution
The Palace of Sports (Tomsk) was converted from a hippodrome in 1970. In history, there was a time when the premises were owned by trade unions. In the spacious halls, cultural events have constantly been and are held: concerts, football, volleyball, basketball competitions. Thanks to the existing ice rink, hockey and figure skating competitions were held on the territory.
For residents, 1993 was remembered by the change of name to the Palace of Spectacles and Sports (Tomsk). The essence of the work of the organization has not changed. A huge number of city residents are accommodated inside the building, which made it possible to hold New Year's performances, mass celebrations in honor of the city's birthday, and concerts there.
This Sports Palace (Tomsk) was chosen for the show "Stars on Ice". The ice arena became for a while Averbukh's film set. There are several entertainment venues inside the building:
- cafe called "At the stray dog";
- fitness rooms;
- sauna;
- pool.
Existing problems of the institution
The Palace of Spectacles and Sports (Tomsk) has always had a good reputation, but recent events have attracted public attention. Entrepreneurs have spoiled the honest name of the institution. They began an active struggle for the territory belonging to the complex.
What made the Sports Palace interesting? Tomsk is headed by financially interested persons. The territory of the complex is already occupied by construction in progress - multi-storey buildings, passing into the ownership of one company to another.
The Palace of Sports (Tomsk) did not sell land to private companies, the documents clearly show a long-term lease. But apartments are already being sold to residents under the guise of privatized housing. The prosecutor's office intervened in the case, but the result has not yet been followed. Residents of the city want the central authorities to be involved in a complex issue, suspecting the corruption of fraudulent activities.
