During the design process we have focused on enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of the entrances, most of the former park area remains accessible to pedestrians. The road network has been thoughtfully designed to facilitate easy traffic flow through the park while offering diverse routes for walkers and joggers during morning hours.

 

Two impressive representative areas have been strategically placed along the axis of the Municipal Office entrance. The first square within the former park area offers an ideal space for hosting various celebrations and events. Additionally, a new feature in the park is the dog running area located in the northwest part, serving the needs of dog owners while safeguarding the rest of the park from potential damage and conflicts.

 

A dedicated playground has been established, enclosed by a fence, and equipped with an ample selection of toys. Adjacent to this area, separated by plants and a slight elevation, lies another representative space visually connected to the park's main square in front of the Municipal Office. This serene relaxation spot features two interconnected pools, complemented by a gentle waterfall, providing a refreshing ambiance even during the hottest summer hours.
