New Costa del Sol Rustic Park
A new rustic park is planned for the Costa de Sol area of Carvajal. After my last post covered the possibilities for finding a use for jellyfish on the Costa del Sol, its time to turn my attention to another good environmentally pleasant project on the drawing board.
Costa del Sol municipality Benalmadena Town Council announced the pending creation of huge rustic park to be situated in the Carvajal stream area. The proposed 40,000 square metre park will cost €1.3 million and will be co-financed by the local ayuntamiento (council) and the Junta de Andalucia.
Of the proposed open space, only 15,000 square metres are earmarked to be open to the public. This area is planned to be provided with paths, a children’s playground, as well as a gymnasium and a sports area.
The remaining area will be a strictly ecological area, which has delighted local green party environmentalists and is to be planted with both exotic and native trees and bushes, many that are on the endangered list.
