Estancia Chica, Training stadium in La Plata Partido, Argentina.
Estancia Chica is a training complex on an expansive property featuring multiple football fields, tennis courts, swimming pools, and specialized athletic facilities. The grounds span tens of hectares and provide comprehensive infrastructure for various sports.
The property was acquired by Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in 1967. Within it stands La Casona, an older building dated 1867 with two floors and lodging capacity for up to 40 people. The grounds cover 160 hectares in the Abasto area of La Plata.
The facility serves as a development hub for Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata's youth squads, helping shape future players in Argentine football. Young talent from the region trains here under professional guidance.
Estancia Chica lies in the Abasto area of La Plata, reached by road from the city; the grounds cover 160 hectares and hold six regulation football pitches, two gyms, changing rooms and a medical office. The site is the training and concentration base of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata's professional squad and its youth divisions, so access is not arranged for casual visitors. La Casona, the 1867 two-storey building, can lodge up to 40 people.
The Carlos Timoteo Griguol Campus, a G-shaped building of 900 square metres, is being built opposite pitch No. 2 in two stages; the first, for players and coaching staff, was budgeted at 800,000 dollars.
