CANOEING TRAINING BASE  PSBA The canoeing base in  Augustów  was established in 2019 as the implementation of the winning concept of the architectural competition settled in 2016. The competition task was to create a concept for a water sports center - a canoeist base - and the overall development of the neighboring recreational areas. The investment has been divided into several stages. The canoeing base is the first of them. Finally, the new development of Błonie on the Netta River is still to be built, including a multifunctional sports field, pump track, playground and places for citizens and tourists to get some rest. LOCATION The resort is located in the central part of  Augustów, on the west boulevard of the Netta River. The facility is located in a picturesque bend of the river, which is a part of the historical  Augustów  Canal. Around the structure, there are public leisure areas eagerly visited by locals and tourists.
