Documentation Center of the District Institute of Recreation and Sports

The Centro de Documentación del Instituto Distrital de Recreación y Deporte (Documentation Center of the District Institute of Recreation and Sports) is a specialized information-management unit attached to the Instituto Distrital de Recreación y Deporte (IDRD), the public entity responsible for recreation and sports in Bogotá, Colombia. According to its Wikidata description, it is a unit specialized in the management of information in sports, recreation and park areas, charged with acquiring, selecting, organizing, classifying and disseminating the bibliographic material required by users. As a documentation center rather than a commercial product brand, its "offerings" are library and information services: a curated collection of bibliographic material, cataloguing and classification, reference and dissemination services aimed at IDRD staff, researchers, students and the general public interested in sports, recreation and park management. Its scope reflects the institutional mission of its parent body, IDRD, which oversees Bogotá's parks, sports facilities and recreation programmes. The center operates within the public administration of Bogotá and is therefore a state-owned entity rather than a private company. Its services are typically accessed through the city's official procedures and services portal, where the center is listed as a trámite/servicio. Because it is an internal documentation unit, detailed public information about its founding date, staffing and collection size is limited; the available evidence describes its function rather than its corporate history. This dossier treats the Centro de Documentación as a public-sector information service brand under IDRD. It is not a commercial trademark in the conventional sense, but it functions as a named institutional service with a defined user base and a clear documentary mission in the fields of sports, recreation and parks.

The Centro de Documentación del Instituto Distrital de Recreación y Deporte is the documentation unit of the Instituto Distrital de Recreación y Deporte (IDRD), the public body of the Bogotá district government responsible for recreation, sports and parks. Its documented function is to manage information in the areas of sports, recreation and parks, acquiring, selecting, organizing, classifying and disseminating the bibliographic material required by users. Because it is an internal documentation center rather than a commercial enterprise, its history is tied to the administrative development of IDRD and the city of Bogotá. Public evidence does not provide a founding date, a list of directors, or a chronology of expansions. What is known is its mandate: to serve as the specialized information repository for the institution's subject areas. Its services are listed on Bogotá's official procedures and services portal, indicating that it operates as a recognized public service point. The center's role places it within a broader tradition of public documentation centers in Colombia that support research, planning and public policy in sport and recreation. Its collection and services are intended for internal IDRD users as well as external researchers and citizens seeking bibliographic material on sports, recreation and park management.
