The idea of building a sports hall in Campofranco was born in the 80s, when the local community felt the need to have a suitable place for sporting, cultural and recreational events. After a period of planning and fundraising, construction on the plant began in 1990 and was completed in 1993.
The Palazzetto dello Sport Giovanni Paolo II was designed to host various sports, including basketball, volleyball, futsal and artistic gymnastics. The structure is equipped with a running track, grandstands for spectators, changing rooms, offices and services for the public.
In addition to being used for sporting activities, the sports hall has become a point of reference for the community of Campofranco for cultural and social events. It is used for concerts, stage performances, fairs and exhibitions.
