Riverside park to open next month

The long-awaited Parque Fluvial (‘Riverside Park’), which is located on the wasteland surrounding the mouth of the Fuengirola River, is to be officially opened on 10th of January according to the Town Hall.

Wells provide 80% of parks’ water

The Councillor for Parks, María Jesús Pascial, has said that almost 80 percent of the water now used for irrigating the town’s parks and green areas is water from wells that would be unsafe for human consumption. This initiative of using water from such resources forms part of the Town Hall’s environmental plan which was launched last year. “This scheme demonstrates the council’s dedication to saving water,” said Pascual. 11 out of 17 of Fuengirola’s main parks are currently operating this system.

Next generation skating comes to Fuengirola

A new skate park near the Miramar shopping centre promises to be a huge draw as it set out to rival similar parks in Sweden and Germany. Set on a plot of 5,828 square metres, the Skate Park, which will be officially inaugurated in a few weeks, will become one of the largest youth-orientated leisure facilities in the municipality of Fuengirola.
