Improvements to the children’s games area will involve the removal of architectural barriers, to provide a space with unique inclusive features accessible to all children. In addition, a new rubber paving will be put in place. The renovation work will start on Tuesday, 17 October and is expected to last three and a half months.

Participatory budgeting is turning citizen projects into a reality

The renovation of the children’s games space at the Jardins de Montserrat Roig is the result of one of the winning Participatory Budgeting projects in Eixample. The citizen proposal was presented as Let’s make parks more accessible for all children, with the promoters calling for a renovation of Barcelona’s parks to ensure inclusive spaces where all children, without exception, can play and learn together.
