Estadio Municipal de La Molina, Sports stadium in La Molina district, Lima, Peru
The Estadio Municipal de La Molina is a football stadium located in the La Molina district of Lima and features two grandstands positioned on the east and west sides. It accommodates around 5,000 spectators and serves as a venue for local competitions and regional matches.
The ground was previously used as a landfill and soil dump. In February 2008 mayor Luis Dibós Vargas-Prada launched the project, which was completed on 21 September 2008 and opened in the presence of Arturo Woodman, president of the IPD. In March 2010 the same mayor inaugurated the floodlighting, making it the first municipal stadium in Lima with such a system.
The venue serves as a gathering place for football fans from the neighborhood who come to watch local league matches and cup competitions. It represents an important meeting point where the community comes together to support their teams.
The stadium sits in the La Molina district of Lima, with direct access to parking areas, grandstands and the pitch. It has three changing rooms, a technical zone and toilets, and the pitch is artificial turf. Metal fencing 2.3 m high surrounds the field.
The floodlights installed in March 2010 made it the first municipal stadium in Lima with its own lighting system: four poles carrying eight reflectors each. The same ground had been a landfill and soil dump before the district built the stadium, inaugurated on 21 September 2008 with Arturo Woodman of the IPD present.
