Aguilas opens new edge-of-town forest park

ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

The 3-hectare park is located next to the Paseo de las Acacias in the west of the town of Águilas

Aguilas opens new edge-of-town forest park A new 3-hectare forest park was officially opened in Águilas over the weekend alongside the Paseo de las Acacias on the western edge of the town centre, the land having been transformed from waste ground to another “green lung” in the south-westernmost municipality of the Region of Murcia.

The Town Hall reiterates that this is one of many initiatives designed to make Águilas a more environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing place to live, and with these objectives being clearly stated the project has been financed up to 80 per cent by EU Regional Development funds.

The result is a large park which can enjoyed by both local residents and visitors, featuring a multi-purpose sports court, a stage with outdoor cinema screen, children’s play facilities, walking paths and group physical exercise areas. There are also three viewing points looking out over the Chimenea de la Loma, the Torre de las Palomas and the Castle of San Juan de las Águilas.

Throughout the year it also has a number of museums and historical attractions, a castle with fabulous views overlooking the bay and several other points of interest, all of which make it an good place to visit for days out. Throughout the year the tourist office runs monthly guided tours and the route of the railways, which explores the railway history of the town.

The tourist information office is located in the Plaza de Antonio Cortijos, just a short walk from the sea front and Plaza de España, a cool, shaded space in which to enjoy a coffee.
