Mehmet Çakır Cultural and Sports Center
The Mehmet Çakır Cultural and Sports Center (Turkish: Mehmet Çakır Kültür ve Spor Merkezi) is a cultural and sports complex located in Çengelköy neighborhood of Üsküdar district in Istanbul, Turkey. It is named after Mehmet Çakır, the former mayor of Üsküdar district.[1]
The center was built by the Municipality of Üsküdar as a water sports complex on an area of 22,500 m2 (5.6 acres) in Çengelköy near Bosphorus.[2] Inaugurated officially on May 26, 2015, the center has three indoor swimming pool halls for males and three for females, including two semi-olympic swimming pools of size 15 m × 25 m (49 ft × 82 ft) with 200-spectator capacity each.[3] It has further a multi-purpose hall and fitness center of 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft), two watsu pools for aquatic therapy, two shallow pools, gender-separated mini spa pools and a multi-purpose foyer of 250 m2 (2,700 sq ft) in addition to administrative offices, a meeting hall and changing rooms. The complex has a parking lot capable of 400 vehicles in total, including a covered obe for 300 vehicles.[2] It is the biggest sports venue on the Anatolian part of Istanbul.[1]
The complex was closed for use due to leaking water from the pool beds down to the basement as reported in October 2015.[3]
