The Estepona Town Hall will renovate the playgrounds in the urban center and the outskirts

The Estepona City Council has started its plan for the renovation and improvement of municipal playgrounds located both in the urban core and in the outlying areas. The aim of this project is to modernize and ensure these spaces, designated for children's leisure, are in perfect condition for use and safety.

Thus, play and safety elements that are in poor condition will be replaced with higher quality, more modern ones that meet the needs of the children, according to a press release from the City Council.

The work has begun at the playground on Santiago Apóstol street and continues at those located in Parque del Ángel and Plaza del Ajedrez. These actions include the playground that was recently inaugurated at Plaza Daniel Casares.

The improvement plan for these children's areas will continue over the next few weeks at the following locations: the nursery and Plaza de las Nieves in Cancelada, Plaza de la Concordia and the Deputy Mayor's Office in Isdabe, Blas Infante in the Picasso neighborhood, Espronceda, Plaza Pescadores, Altos de Guadalobón, Avenida de Andalucía with Avenida San Lorenzo, Jardín de la Vega, Parque de El Abuelo, National Police on Terraza street, Fairgrounds, Plaza de la Comunicación, Concha Espina, and Congreso.

The initiative includes the replacement of protective surfaces made of 100 x 100 x 4.5 cm rubber tiles with continuous 4 cm thick rubber safety flooring. Additionally, damaged play elements that can be repaired will be removed and transported to the City Council's warehouse to be reused as spare parts.

The project was awarded for 745,254 euros, VAT included, and it will be executed over a period of six months.
