Complejo Deportivo José Manuel López, located just a few blocks from the Ñuble metro station, is a…read moregreat place to play a game of soccer or basketball. The main reason I gave them a 4-star review is not because of the quality of the areas they provide, but because of their great initiative of opening up their services for free to the residents in the area. They also hold different sport workshops and championships for residents of all ages. I am currently playing in their "Liga Interbarrios" and I have been blown away by the organization and community support. Every Saturday kids, teens, young adults as well as older adults play - basically all ages and genders are welcome! What's more is this is all for free. Free fields to play on, free ref's and equipment! This is the best way to get kids off the streets or better said, off their couches and being active. I have played on almost all of their fields except for their fake grass one. They have a cement "baby" field outside, right next to a small playground for kids. A fake grass one that is always closed and 2 larger indoor pitches that are separated by large nets. Plus they have bleachers for family and friends to cheer their loved-ones on (sometimes it can get intense when teams come with their rowdy "hinchas"- very exciting). They also have changing rooms and bathrooms although, ladies, remember to bring your own toilet paper as they do not have any. A great initiative and I hope more communities will follow suit!

And if you're not into that kind of stuff, there are also plenty of restaurants. The trees are very tall so I guarantee you will have a nice shadow for those awful summer days. Also, there is a water fountain, although sometimes it doesn't work. You can have a good time, however, I recommend, if you have children, staying till evening and then head home, because the ambience can get bohemian at night.

The owner of Pool Mosqueto is what makes this place really special. He runs his business as a…read moreneighborhood pool hall, and really wants his clients to learn the game and have a good time, he was a pool champion and it's obvious that he really loves what he does. Pool Mosqueto doesn't have a bar or kitchen it is literally a place made up of about 20 pool tables and eager clients wanting to have a good time. I love how the place was kept simple. There is no fancy atmosphere or specific attention to the decor, which is what makes it such a chill place to spend any evening. If you're new to pool you can also take classes with the owner and if you're lucky he'll show you some of his fun pool tricks. This place is also very reasonably priced, only about 2 mil per hour.
