Tacoronte Opens New Inclusive Playground in Plaza del Adelantado

Tacoronte has taken a major step toward making its public spaces more accessible with the opening of a new inclusive playground in the Plaza del Adelantado. The City Council funded the 42,673-euro project entirely through its own budget, fulfilling a long-standing request for better social integration in the community.

Led by Councilwoman Sandra Izquierdo and the departments of Works, Contracting, and Parks, the project involved much more than just installing new play equipment. The area was completely redesigned, replacing outdated features with safety-certified flooring. The team also planted new trees around the perimeter to provide natural shade, a sustainable move that will keep the playground cooler for families in the years to come.

Beyond the new swings and play panels, the City Council views this as the first phase of a larger plan to revitalize the area between Adelantado, Juan Pérez, and Fray Diego streets. Future improvements will focus on repairing pavement, upgrading drainage systems, and removing architectural barriers to ensure the neighborhood is fully accessible to everyone.

This project reflects a growing trend across Spain to update parks so that all children, regardless of their physical abilities, can enjoy them. By modernizing this local meeting spot, Tacoronte is demonstrating how targeted local investment can directly improve the daily lives of its residents.
