Seville City Council has announced the completion of the first phase of the comprehensive improvement of Doctor Rodríguez Sacristán Park, situated on Monzón Street in the Bellavista–La Palmera district. The work has involved an investment of €158,024.67, as part of a project that will overall exceed €300,000.
The delegate for Parks and Gardens, Evelia Rincón, explained that in this phase, the entire pavement of the park has been renewed, access points and fencing have been repaired, and it has been completed with new furniture, fully recycled and recyclable, accessible benches, a new drinking water fountain, more shade, and a new filtration system to improve irrigation quality.
The pedestrian paths, which previously had worn and uneven gravel pavement, now feature printed concrete, continuous, non-slip, and requiring less maintenance, in addition to the expansion of the flowerbeds. The entrance stairs and ramps have also been renewed, replacing the washed gravel flooring with the same material.
The old metal fencing, which was deteriorated and posed a risk to users, has been removed and a new one installed around the entire perimeter of the park, in the dog area and in the internal divisions. The new drinking water fountain is now operational.
Regarding the second phase, Rincón announced that the project to replace all current playground equipment and expand the play area has already been tendered. “The City Council of Seville will invest over €300,000 in this area for the use and enjoyment of all residents,” the councillor stated.
Four new unique play areas
In parallel, the City Council has put out to tender the design, supply, and installation of four new unique children's play areas, with a total budget of €853,600. The aim is for all districts to have complete, accessible, and varied areas, so that no user has to travel more than 20 minutes to reach one.
The first lot, equipped with €466,000, includes the Psychomotronic Park in the North district, themed around astronomy and outer space, covering an area of 742 m²; and Sinai Street in San Pablo–Santa Justa, dedicated to arts and letters, covering 500 m². Both will feature a fun-sports obstacle course for children and teenagers aged 10 to 14, adapted for all abilities.
The second lot, with €387,600, includes the area on Castillo de Baños de la Encina Street in the South district, themed around train travel and featuring an integrated climbing wall, covering 767 m²; and Monzón Street in Bellavista–La Palmera, dedicated to the four elements of nature, covering 418 m².
All areas will be inclusive, designed for use by children with any type of disability, with single-level play equipment, wide pathways, and elements that stimulate sight, hearing, and touch. The play elements will occupy no more than 60% of the area, reserving the rest for free play, and the existing trees will be preserved.
