The Department of Parks and Gardens of the Telde City Council has announced the preventive sealing and temporary closure of the children's leisure and play area at San Juan Urban Park. This measure is taken to ensure user safety while necessary rehabilitation works are carried out.
This children's area, covering nearly 1,500 square meters, is the largest in the municipality and one of the most used by families in Telde. The original facilities date back to 1999, with a partial renovation of the children's area in 2009. Since then, most of the 16 play elements have exceeded their lifespan.
Continuous use and exposure to weather conditions have led to progressive deterioration, with some elements showing defects classified as serious or very serious. Furthermore, these are outdated structures for which original spare parts are unavailable, making maintenance and safety compliance difficult.
Given this situation, based on technical reports, detected incidents, user complaints, and Local Police records, the Department has proceeded with the preventive sealing and temporary suspension of use.
The company responsible for the park's maintenance, surveillance, and conservation has been instructed to carry out the necessary rehabilitation actions. The duration of the works will depend on material supply timelines.
The City Council thanks users for their understanding regarding any inconvenience caused by this temporary measure, emphasizing that it is for safety and to ensure the space can be used adequately by families.
