Málaga Council has begun to erect 800 metres of fencing around the 50,000 square metre Parque Litoral in an attempt to stop the trend of vandalism in the area which has led to the burning of playground apparatus on a number of occasions.
Once completed, there will be eight sliding gates and four other entrances to the area and the park will be open from 08:00 to 22:00. A similar situation occurs in parque del Oeste, La Paloma and La Batería.
Residents in the area have frequently denounced the misuse of the park at night and acts of vandalism and have been asking for the erection of fencing for a number of years.
