This is what the Great Park of Mijas will be like: A large lake and an auditorium for about 1,500 people

The works on the Great Park of Mijas are nearing 95% completion, a public space designated for leisure that the City Council plans to open next May. It has allocated an investment of 27.5 million euros for the park, which will feature a large lake, an amphitheater with a capacity for about 1,500 people, and areas for games and sports, as highlighted by the Councilor for Infrastructure, Juan José Torres.

The future park is being developed over an area of “270,000 square meters,” with “roads and structures” almost completed, as well as “children's play areas, the skatepark, the splashpark, and the bio-healthy devices,” the councilor noted.

Pending elements

The progress of the works at the Great Park can be seen on the ground, which will include a central area of 24 square meters designed as a boulevard, with space for “tourist transportation” and “bike lane”. Other ornamental elements such as large fountains of Andalusian typology will beautify the space, with “lighting” and the placement of “gresite” type tiles still pending.

It will also have sports courts for basketball and 5-a-side football, which “are finished except for the final coat of paint”; a dog park in the southern area which still needs “lighting, sand, and fencing”; and a navigable lake which is pending “cleaning and filling”, while the "furniture" is “60% installed,” detailed the municipal official.
