The party Iniciativa por La Gomera (IxLG) has submitted a report to the Valle Gran Rey Town Council, La Gomera, warning about the poor condition of El Llano Children's Park, which compromises its safety and functionality.
The local committee of Iniciativa por La Gomera (IxLG) in Valle Gran Rey has registered a comprehensive technical and graphic report with the Town Council, highlighting deficiencies in the conservation status of El Llano Children's Park. This document, a result of the party's active listening and oversight, details a series of problems affecting the functionality, safety, and image of this recreational space.

"In this document, the result of our party's active listening and oversight, a series of deficiencies are detailed that compromise the functionality, safety, and image of one of the main recreational areas in the municipality."
The political group emphasizes that children's parks are not merely play areas but essential infrastructures for social cohesion, child health, and family reconciliation. In the specific case of El Llano, its strategic location also gives it a tourist dimension, as it is regularly used by families visiting the municipality of Valle Gran Rey.
The report, which includes a photographic appendix, documents various elements requiring immediate attention. Among the most critical points noted are safety risks, particularly due to the absence of anti-fall protective fencing in required areas, material deterioration, and design and management errors.

"Of all, the most serious issue highlighted in the report is the poor execution of the works. Repairs have already been carried out by in-house staff to correct execution errors in works that were inaugurated late last year and were awarded for 266,339.87 euros, which demonstrates a lack of adequate technical supervision."
For Iniciativa por La Gomera (IxLG), the current state of the park is a result of inadequate design and the lack of a maintenance plan by the municipal government group. The party's spokesperson insists that the park, just months after its reopening, projects an image of neglect that Valle Gran Rey cannot afford.
The report concludes with a series of improvement proposals and a formal request for a reasoned response from the municipal authorities. IxLG urges the Town Council to urgently integrate these demands into its works and services planning.
“
"Our intention is constructive: we want El Llano Park to be a benchmark for quality and safety. Improving public space is a shared responsibility, and from Iniciativa por La Gomera (IxLG) we will remain vigilant to ensure that municipal resources are managed effectively for the benefit of all residents."
