"The Pintor Pedro Flores garden, with an area of ??2,500 square meters, is one of the fundamental coexistence nuclei of the Carmen neighborhood, a consolidated space for families," said Jos Ballesta, who pointed out that “the comprehensive remodeling that we have carried out responds to one of the strategic lines that guide the actions of this government team: neighborhood participation, since it is an initiative framed within the DNA neighborhood regeneration plan ”. In this sense, this action is aimed primarily at the 20,500 residents of the El Carmen neighborhood. 'Playground', the new concept of the gardens of Murcia During the visit, the Murcian councilor added that "in this park we have also integrated a new concept, which combines living areas, to share and coexist, with sports areas and leisure areas for children, with adapted games and m It is modern, turning this park not only into a place of stay and coexistence, but also of physical activity and leisure ”. This definition corresponds to the new concept of gardens that is being implemented in the municipality of Murcia, under the name of 'playground'.
Parks like Jos Antonio Camacho, in Ronda Sur, and Las Tres Copas, in La Flota, have already been integrated into this new model. Three zones differentiated by age Specifically, the park has three areas differentiated by age: one for the youngest with innovative children's games; another aimed at older boys and girls, with a new sports court, and a third based on a calisthenics circuit for young and old. Two new pergolas provide 300 m2 of shade In addition, the children's play area has a new pergola, which minimizes the effects of high temperatures, especially during the summer months, and which protects children from radiation, covering 100 square meters of shaded spaces.
To this pergola there is a second one, located at the entrance of the garden, of 200 square meters. New bushes have also been planted, increasing the density of vegetation in the surroundings.
Likewise, the park has a new irrigation network, which is drip, minimizing losses. Fully inclusive and accessible playground It should be noted that the children's play area is inclusive and fully accessible to children with all kinds of needs.
For its part, the calisthenics circuit has been installed on a continuous rubber base, with bars and climbing ropes. The works have also involved the renovation of the park's pavement with different formats, as well as the paving of the access corridors to the children's areas. Regeneration of neighborhoods with 'Urban DNA' The remodeling of the Pintor Pedro Flores garden is the result of a neighborhood participation process, with which different proposals from residents were collected to improve the neighborhood, this being one of them. In this sense, the project is part of the El Carmen Urban DNA Neighborhood Regeneration Plan, a pioneering intervention model aimed at improving the quality of life of families in the urban area, neighborhoods and districts, that gathers the proposals of the neighbors and different groups to carry out improvement actions.
