| The new green area will encompass 27,000 square meters of land and is part of the 'Murcia Río' project | The Plenum of the Murcia City Council has approved obtaining the land that will complete the new green area to be built in the current dissuasive car park at El Malecón.Specifically, the land to be acquired is located between the bed of the Segura river, the A-30 motorway and the Paseo del Malecón and covers 6,500 square meters.
The planned investment is 460,000 euros.The project includes the construction of an urban park that is currently in the design phase and will incorporate wooded areas on the surface, as well as in the perimeter spaces of the current parking lot, which have been carried out in connection with the 'Murcia Río' River Walk.Vegetation from the parking levelThe intention is that the vegetation sprouts from the level of the parking lot and creates a superior surface in which large children's games can be implanted.One of the actions that is in the study phase is the construction of an underground car park in a part of the plot that will free up the surface of the current deterrent car park as a pedestrian, recreational and citizen activities area.
The intention is that this area can host temporary festive activities.A row of wooded flower beds will create a landscape barrier that will allow the connection of the Malecon, the A-30 motorway and the river bed in a natural space in which the vegetation will be the main protagonist.'Green' connection with the Artillery BarracksThe construction of this new green area could mean a reduction in the number of events of this type that the Malecon Botanical Garden currently hosts.
The new space will be integrated with the existing walks along the Segura river and will connect with the cultural center of the Artillery Barracks, reinforcing in the center the connection of both banks of the river.This park will offer a connection between the Malecon and the river with the vegetation as the protagonist.
The city will gain a new green area in front of the Paseo del Malecón and the Botanical Garden that will give continuity to other gardens already built in the execution of the first phase of 'Murcia Río', such as Alameda and Cuatro Piedras.Landscaping of spaces below the A-30The project includes the landscaping of the spaces underneath the A-30 motorway and the area of ??the deterrent car park until its progressive complete recovery as free space.
The technical proposal is already prepared.
