Torrevieja is preparing to develop a significant new green area, set to begin construction on the eleventh of November and estimated to cost five point four million euros, including value added tax. This initiative responds to local demands concerning the long-neglected main green space of Sector twenty-five. Urban developers, who previously failed to establish a park despite securing construction permissions, will not hinder this project, with assurances from the local council regarding execution timelines.

The green area will cover seventy thousand square metres and feature over seven hundred trees, including olive trees, oaks, and cypress trees, along with various Mediterranean plants. The project aims to enhance local biodiversity while providing recreational facilities such as children’s play areas, sports courts, picnic spots, and a dog area. Notably, the park will have self-cleaning toilets, the first of their kind in Torrevieja’s public parks.

Mayor Eduardo Dolón highlighted the project’s multifaceted design, which emphasises landscaping, biodiversity, and leisure activities. Accompanied by parks and gardens councillor Concha Sala and others, Dolón reassured the community that the execution will encounter no delays, asserting that this park will not be a mere virtual project but rather a tangible benefit for local residents.

This initiative marks a crucial response to the historical shortcomings in urbanisation within the area, ensuring the local environment is refurbished and enhances community wellbeing. The council aims to optimise water and energy use through efficient systems while ensuring complete accessibility for all users. This commitment to sustainability and community improvement is poised to transform Torrevieja’s urban landscape.
