The City Council of Torrevieja has officially opened a new skatepark located at the Torrealmendros flood pond. This installation is part of a larger project aimed at enhancing and integrating the park’s landscape, with an investment of seven hundred thousand euros. The flood pond serves to manage twelve thousand cubic metres of water, aiming to prevent flooding in the Torreta Florida urbanisation, although further improvements are necessary.

The new skatepark features several specialised modules, including Quarter plus Flat, Hand Rail, Manual Pad plus Flat, Flat Rail, and Funbox plus Hubba plus Spine. These will provide enthusiasts with a versatile space to practice various skateboarding techniques. The park is open to the public, with winter hours from eight in the morning to nine thirty in the evening, and summer hours extending until midnight.

In addition to the skatepark, the project includes a calisthenics area, new urban furniture, and a comprehensive landscaping plan. This initiative aims to reintegrate the space into the environment while creating a green area for community enjoyment, according to the press release from the inauguration event.

The opening event was attended by key figures such as Mayor Eduardo Dolón and various local councillors. Members of the Club Puro Skateboard Torrevieja, including champion Valeria Chacón, also participated. The skateboard club expressed their appreciation for the new facility, highlighting that it has been designed incorporating their feedback for optimal training effectiveness.
