The public space in Paradai, located between Infanta Elena Avenue and Alexandre Bóveda Street, will undergo a comprehensive renovation. The City Council aims to transform this area into a more pleasant, accessible meeting point for residents, with bids expected to open on December 3rd.
This initiative is part of the municipal strategy to enhance public spaces in the northern neighborhoods, making them greener, more comfortable, accessible, and adapted to people's needs. The project aims to recover these areas for community life, integrating nature and new leisure opportunities for all ages.
The project includes the renovation of approximately 3,000 square meters. A new, larger children's play area of 228 square meters, designed for different age groups and featuring a shaded canopy, will be created. A zip line and a multi-sport court for activities like football, basketball, tennis, and volleyball will also be installed.
The goal is for Paradai to be a space for everyone: children to play, youth to practice sports, and families and older adults to have a pleasant area for walking and resting. The renaturalization will be significant, with new trees and landscaped areas with natural grass, complementing existing vegetation. New benches, bins, and a drinking fountain will be added, and pavements will be renewed with lighter, heat-absorbing materials.
The project has a base tender budget of 497,949.69 euros (VAT included) and a six-month execution period after award. It is co-financed by the European Union (FEDER funds) at 60% and by municipal contribution at 40%, as part of the Integrated Action Plan Lugo Novo Norte.
