Moratalaz to gain a new green space with a €3.5 million investment
The Ayuntamiento de Madrid will invest €3.5 million to develop a municipal plot in Moratalaz with trees, pedestrian and cycle paths, play areas, and toilets. The project is scheduled to take 12 months.
The site still has trees and vegetation, although until now it was not set up to host activities open to the neighbourhood.
On Thursday, the Junta de Gobierno approved a municipal project with an investment of 3.5 million euros to develop the plot. The area is located between Encomienda de Palacios y Hacienda de Pavones, as well as Fuente Carrantona y Valdebernardo.
The project includes planting new trees to create a woodland and expanding pedestrian and cycling routes. Existing paths will be connected with new ones to improve accessibility within the grounds.
The current square will be enlarged and will serve as the main entrance. There, children's play areas and public toilets will be installed; the site will also feature spaces for sports, cultural, gastronomic, and outdoor leisure activities.
The Junta Municipal de Moratalaz is driving the initiative to add a space for community life and make the plot available for public use. In another municipal project related to land use, the City Council plans to make 9,000 affordable homes available in 2027, according to its affordable housing plan.
The grounds are also intended to serve as a climate refuge, with new trees and areas where residents can stay and gather. The contract will be awarded through an open procedure and the works are expected to take 12 months to complete.
