ARCHIVED - Popular park in Villajoyosa to undergo extensive renovation
Accessibility will be improved as part of the complete overhaul at Censal Park in the Marina Baixa, Alicante province
One of Villajoyosa's most frequented parks is to undergo a complete renovation aimed at improving energy efficiency and accessibility for people with reduced mobility, following an investment of 14,000 euros.
The project, currently being drafted, includes the replacement of pavements, as well as repairs to road surfaces affected by subsidence, installation of energy efficient solar panels, and improvements to accessibility, including a future connection point to the Centro beach promenade.
"The scheme will focus mainly on the renovation of the current paving, which is very worn after many years of use," explained councilor for parks and gardens, Kiko Carreres, adding that, "with the passage of time and its frequent use, the surface has suffered different episodes of partial breakage which have led to occasional repairs in different areas, which is why it is now necessary to replace and level it all."
There are currently ramps in the park which apparently make it impossible for people with reduced mobility to use certain areas of the public space.
"We will adapt the accessibility throughout the park, with a view to extending it in the future to the promenade of the Centro beach," added the councilor.
The complete renovation of Censal Park is in addition to a recent clear-up of gardens and green areas in Villajoyosa, along with street furniture repairs and replacements, and an upcoming refurbishment of childrens' playgrounds, scheduled to take place from November.
