After an intense remodeling, the new sustainable park in the Bellver forest reopened to the public with games for children distributed on two levels at the entrance of the forest on Calle Polvorí.

Specifically, the new park occupies an area of ​​3,052 square meters and has been remodeled taking advantage of the existing space where picnic tables and ping pong tables were located to create a new environment with more than 20 different games on two levels:

Space for the youngest children: different elements have been placed including cabins, playhouses, sheep, swings, tables, stools, sandboxes formed by logs, river bowling pins and accessible cranes.

Space for children and young people with accessible slides, tunnel slides, flat logs, wooden platforms for drilling with flu and ropes, a skeleton and a hexagon as well as flu bowling.

All these new games have been manufactured with sustainable woods and vegetable islands have been created where shrubs typical of the forest will be planted, such as bushes, groves, wild olive trees and other shrubs. Specifically, this intervention has had a cost of about 600,000 euros.

This space was analyzed through radar and three trees that were in poor condition had to be removed. Instead, a total of 17 have been planted. In addition, the pavement has been renewed with materials integrated into the forest and an accessible ramp has been created that improves communication between the two playgrounds.

“We have put the general interest ahead, this was an unused area, with obsolete games that did not comply with the regulations and where there was no access by emergency vehicles; We have built two areas separated by children according to age and we have included accessibility elements ”, said the Councilor for Infrastructure and Accessibility, Angélica Pastor.
