| The park is divided into three thematic areas: one for sports practice (with ping pong tables and a 'futbito' track), another room and one third of children's play | The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, together with the councilor for Urban Development and Administration Modernization, José Guillén, visited this week the Tomás y Valiente Garden, measuring 7,200 square meters, which has recently been renovated and is divided into three thematic areas : one for sports, another room and a third for children's games.“The district of Puente Tocinos, the second with the largest number of inhabitants in the municipality, opens this wide green area in the heart of the town, which joins other healthy environments in the municipality, such as Murcia Río, the Greenway or the new pedestrian axes of the Pedestrian Plan and that tomorrow they begin to cut off traffic, such as Avenida Mariano Rojas and Calle Trovero el Repuntín de Puente Tocinos, "said José Ballesta.The Tomás y Valiente Garden is a park that borders blocks of flats, a large pedestrian and safe area for children's play, sports, walks and family leisure, which has become a reference area in Puente Tocinos.Football, ping pong and an anthill of children's gamesThe park has new elements, such as ping pong tables and a 'futbito' track, as well as a children's play area that simulates a large anthill with pieces inspired by insects, such as ants, ladybugs and spiders - this space is fenced with a perimeter security fence on the occasion of the health crisis.Rest area with natural shadingThe park's central pergola - the meeting point between sports activities and the children's play area - has been landscaped and renovated.

On its surface, in addition, climbing plant species have been planted that will create natural shade.

Likewise, the City Council has renovated the benches of this park and the pavement of the roads that it had, acting in an area of ??610 square meters.

Nest boxes have also been incorporated.Large trees and more native shrub speciesThe Tomás y Valiente garden also stands out for the expansion of its green areas, since new vegetation areas have been created in which the lawn has been replaced by indigenous species, reducing energy and water consumption, which translates into use of less resources for the maintenance of these areas.

In addition, a more modern irrigation system has been installed that can efficiently supply the entire park."Working to improve the collective health status of half a million Murcians, promoting clean mobility and physical activity, and promoting sustainability, to maintain environmental quality levels, are two strategic principles of the Murcia City Council," said the Murcia ruler.Plan RebornOne of the main characteristics of the Tomás y Valiente Garden is that it is zoned by activity areas, divided according to how it works: one for sports, another for children's games and recreational activities and a third central rest area that connects both mentioned spaces.Thanks to the zoning of these spaces, children's games - which until now have been spread throughout the park - are located in the same place.

The remodeling of this garden is part of the Plan Renace, the City Council project that develops the green areas of ten Murcian districts.

Specifically, the City Council has allocated a budget of 125,401 euros for the renovation of this environment.Remodeling of the Juan García Oliver squareIn parallel, the City Council is working on the remodeling of the Juan García Oliver square in Puente Tocinos, where it is renovating the pavement and urban furniture.

In addition, Puente Tocinos is one of the districts framed in the Alberca Plan, where the sources of the Casa Torre del Reloj and that of Avenida Juana Jugán are located, which will be inaugurated in the coming weeks.
