The Zaragoza area set to regain green meadows soon: where work will take place

Luis Buñuel Water Park is preparing to restore green areas with new flowering meadows. Zaragoza City Council has put out to tender a contract to restore and sow these areas, with a budget of 48,393.24 euros, including VAT. The project seeks to strengthen vegetation in this natural urban space and forms part of the city’s strategies to promote the urban forest.

The work will focus on areas of the park where this type of vegetation is currently absent. The project includes earthmoving and ground preparation, followed by sowing. The aim is to transform these surfaces into flowering meadows, although the tender documents do not specify the exact location of the areas where work will be carried out within the site.

The contract sets the completion deadline as December 31, 2026. The project is still at the tendering stage, so the start of the work will depend on the contract being awarded and carried out within the planned timeframe.

FLOWERING MEADOWS TO USE LESS WATER AND SUPPORT BIODIVERSITY

The initiative is not aimed solely at improving the appearance of the green areas at the Water Park. According to municipal documents, flowering meadows help capture carbon through photosynthesis and store it in the soil through their roots and underground biological activity. Their introduction is therefore intended as a measure to move toward a more sustainable green infrastructure model.

Another objective is to reduce maintenance needs compared with traditional grass surfaces. These types of meadows may require less watering and less frequent mowing, helping to reduce the use of machinery and conservation work.
