This in order to improve their physical, take advantage of its geographical features and detonate its social potential, generating healthy meeting points within the urban environment.
As a general rule the self-sustainability of the place, that is, the park is designed to receive the lowest possible maintenance, while providing a variety of spaces fit for other users as well as children's audience, its main objective arises.
Finally the visual integration of the Historic Center, where the project is inserted, using some materials, construction elements and vegetation environment arises. So that our proposal aims to provide a model to establish intervention playgrounds in urban and peripheral contexts applicable to the entire city. In all cases the use of luminaires propose fed by grid tie solar system. This ensures lighting place regardless of the condition of local networks or the municipal public service.

Technical Description
The space should always have some kind of physical barrier separating the recreational activities of city traffic . This can be built based on low walls or metal fences . In this project, a low concrete wall colored quarry is suggested to better integrate the historical environment that hosts the project.
In the transitional and public recreational areas tamped using local land it is proposed. They cause a pleasant visual effect by its warm colors and the decrease of reflection of light and heat for its texture and color. They also allow filtration of rainwater through the layers of sand and gravel that are put under the earth and reduce the risk of accidents for infants.
