Palma City Council is launching a park renovation plan and investing four million euros in 57 parks in the city in the next eight months.
Palma Mayor, José Hila, and Infrastructures Councilor, Angélica Pastor, presented the plan of action on Monday.
“It deepens the execution of the Neighborhood Plan which has been underway for two years with the aim of promoting comprehensive improvements in public spaces in local areas, especially those on the periphery which have more needs,” said Mayor Hila.
Comprehensive action will be carried out in 17 parks and improvements will be made at another 40.
