Most of the old attractions have been mothballed, but recreation facilities still included a football arena, table tennis and a supervised play area.

The new national football arena can be reached within 15 minutes walk from there.

Instead, plans for a much cheaper 54,000 spectator football arena, built of pre-fabricated concrete sections, became a reality.

The stadium recently went through extensive restructuring and rebuilding as it was being converted into a pure football arena.

The redevelopments transformed it completely into a football arena and removed approximately 70% of the previous building.
