Comprehensive refurbishment of the playgrounds of four schools located in the Usera district of Madrid

The works in the playgrounds of four educational institutions in the district of Usera in Madrid include sanitation works, paving and the installation of new sports equipment and play areas. More than 11,000 m² of refurbished surface area in the infant and primary schools, CEIP Meseta de Orcasitas, Puerto Rico, República de Brasil and Gloria Fuertes. 
 
The first step consists of the demolition of sports courts in poor condition to replace them with new green areas with filtering earthen paving. The paving and construction of rest areas including steps and continuous benches was carried out. In addition, new play areas with ramps, hills and games and new stages for performances and school parties were installed. Sports facilities included volleyball courts and climbing walls.        

 

New sanitation and drainage networks were built to collect rainwater and trees were planted to provide nature and shade to the areas in the future.  
 
Depending on particular needs, entrances to schools and/or toilets were remodelled to facilitate access for people with physical limitations. There are also cases where children's fountains adapted for people with physical disabilities were installed.  
 
This project is included in the Framework Agreement for refurbishment, repair and conservation works for all the public buildings and spaces under the authority of the Usera district of the Municipal Council of Madrid, Plot 1.
