Fronton, courts and green space by the convent
Over 8,000 square metres open beside the Carmen convent, with multipurpose courts with artificial turf, a fronton, permanent ping-pong tables and seating areas. Free access, no ticket, no restricted hours. All with the 17th-century convent in the background and the sierra behind.
Coming with children
The children's area features animal-shaped play structures, swings and rubber flooring. This is no ordinary neighbourhood playground: it is integrated into the sports space, with shade and a picnic area right alongside. If you come as a family, adults can play fronton or use the courts while the children are within sight.
Getting there from the centre
From the centre of Onda it is about a 25-minute walk. The final stretch runs along a tree-lined promenade with 88 new trees leading directly to the grounds. With the convent ahead and the sierra behind, it is one of the most pleasant walking routes the town has. By car, parking is available next to the grounds on the Carretera de Tales.
What else is in the complex
The Gaming Zone is only one part. A short walk away is the church of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Hope, patron saint of Onda, which can be visited inside. And in the convent building itself, closed since 2022, the Natural Sciences Museum is preparing to reopen as an immersive museum. When that happens, the Carmen complex will have a great deal to offer in a single visit.
