Overview

  • Nighttime lockups will bar entry after dark except for scheduled Roig Arena events, with perimeter fencing already installed.
  • City officials are weighing security camera installations and have coordinated mobility and parking plans across municipal departments.
  • The €6.7 million developer-funded park will span roughly 40,000 m² and feature lawns, playgrounds, sports courts, seating, lighting and bike racks.
  • The project was mandated by a 2014 amendment to Valencia’s General Urban Plan and remains on schedule for municipal handover in September 2025.
  • Dubbed Parque de l’Afició del Valencia Basket, the new green space will link to pedestrian pathways and future metro access.
