Despite being only a decade old, San Fernando de Maspalomas park shows significant deterioration, prompting the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council to undertake a full renovation. The project, which has now been put out to tender, involves an investment of 757,959 euros, with works expected to be completed within six months.
Key improvements include the construction of a new Canarian wrestling ring (terrero de lucha), which will be built after the demolition of an existing dune near Alcalde José Santos González Street and will be surrounded by concrete block seating. Additionally, a significant expansion of the picnic area is planned to provide more space for users.
The renovation proposal aims to optimize the conditions of the pedestrian and cycling paths, which are heavily worn, and adapt the space to the current needs of visitors. This also involves correcting the dunes, which have lost their original vegetation and now present heights that could pose risks. Pavements will be renewed, lighting will be replaced with LED technology, dirt paths will be restored, and landscaped areas will be rehabilitated, including superficial scarification, reseeding of grass, and adaptation of the irrigation network.
In the children's play area, the existing dune will be reduced to install a reinforced concrete layer with artificial grass, and new slides will be incorporated. Similarly, the height of the dune near Alcalde José Santos González Street will be lowered to expand the picnic area, where reinforced concrete and artificial grass will also be applied. Intermediate paths will be enhanced with ornamental vegetation and fragrant grass.
To further expand the picnic area, the existing petanque court near Alcalde José Santos González Street will be removed, and new urban furniture will be installed. The play area will also be expanded by eliminating other petanque courts, adding a trampoline and springboards, and installing tensioned sail awnings for shade. Finally, the park's walls will be treated with mortar to achieve a concrete effect finish.
