A Revitalized and Versatile Space

This park, covering approximately 15,000 square meters, has recently undergone extensive redevelopment, transforming it into a modern and accessible space for everyone. Its central purpose is to provide a place for leisure and informal sports practice, suitable for various ages and interests. The careful renovation has restored the park's vitality, making it a dynamic meeting point for socialising and outdoor activities.

The Youth Park features a variety of areas for entertainment and sports. It includes playgrounds equipped with various toys, designed for younger children. For those seeking more adrenaline, there is a BMX track and a new radical park, ideal for practicing disciplines such as skateboarding. Sports enthusiasts will also find an outdoor gym, a street workout area, and courts for futsal and 3x3 basketball, encouraging sports practice in different formats.

In addition to the sports and leisure facilities, the park is a green haven, with its landscaped areas and pedestrian paths restored. One of its distinctive features is the elevated boardwalk that runs through the treetops, offering a unique perspective of the natural environment. At the park's highest point, a watchtower provides panoramic views of the surrounding area. In the center, a recently redeveloped lake, with a deck and purifying plants, contributes to a serene atmosphere, complemented by the presence of some animals, enriching the natural experience of the space.
