The Parque Sauces in Murcia has been given a unique Jurassic theme

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Cartagena dinosaur park finally opens after several delays

The much-anticipated Jurassic themed Parque Sauces is finally set to open after several months of delays in Cartagena and will be inaugurated at 5pm on Thursday December 23.

The new look of the park will feature play and exercise areas for children and adults, and the most exciting part is that huge dinosaur statues will be scattered around the park, with giant reptilian footprints decorating the new floor. In addition to the lifelike Tyrannosaurus Rex, Parasaurolophus, Triceratops and Brachilosaurus, the park’s centerpiece will be a stunning volcanic waterfall and the area will be lit up with new LED lighting.

Spanning around 4,300 square metres, Parque Sauces is one of the largest recreational areas in the city and the challenge of this new project is to meet the needs of the residents of the area and make it one of the most emblematic parks of all the area.

The main focus of the design was the unique dinosaur theme, but the project also focused on functionality by installing special cushioned flooring around the children’s play area to guarantee the safety of the little ones.

The council has invested a total of 218,997 euros in the project.
