Torrevieja will have the biggest pump track in the world

the mayor of torrevieja, eduardo dolon, and the councillor for parks and Gardens, antonio Vidal, visited the progress of work on the park la Siesta. together with the construction manager of Urdecon constructions, José manuel Fernández, and the technical director of the construction of the pump track, christian tidow, they have checked, first hand, the advanced state in which the work is at.

the technical director of the pump track wanted to emphasise that “this is the largest completely asphalted track in the world, a pioneer in Spain. once it is finished, it will have double the surface area, allowing fans of any kind of sliding sport on wheels to use and enjoy this track. it will be a before and after in our country”.

the final surface area will be 4,200m2, divided into three levels: specialist/advanced, intermediate and children’s level. the course will have a longitudinal surface of 300 metres for the advanced track, 180 metres for the intermediate track and 60 metres for the children’s track. in addition, once the asphalting of the track has been completed, it will be painted in different colours to differentiate the levels, as well as the direction of the track. eduardo dolón wanted to highlight the great work that is being done to create the track, which is expected to be finished in the second half of may, much earlier than originally planned. likewise, the rest of the park is also progressing at a good pace so that “next week some of the work on the upper part of the park will be finished. as we indicated when the works began, the aim is that the park, in its entirety, will be finished by this summer, and this is being achieved,” said the mayor.

For his part, the councillor for parks and Gardens, wanted to recognise and highlight the work that both companies are doing, not only to have the works finished as soon as possible, but also for their commitment to this project, the care and professionalism they are putting into it. “We are facing one of the most important and attractive projects of the municipality, which is going to become a great multisport area,” said antonio Vidal. la Siesta park will have, in addition to the pump track, an agility area for large dogs and another for small dogs, a large central area that divides the park with two circular squares, skating circuits, playgrounds, bio-healthy areas, skating rink, hockey rink, football, basketball, indoor football, petanque courts, calisthenics area, bike path and three paddle tennis courts, making it the first park in torrevieja that will have courts to enjoy this sport so fashionable. don’t take your sight for granted.

‘i’d also like to say a big thank you to the team. if their optometrist hadn’t sent me to a&e, i would be blind.
