Central Park of Arona, Public park in Playa de las Américas, Spain
Central Park of Arona is a public park in Playa de las Américas with interconnected walking paths, triangular plazas, and botanical gardens throughout Tenerife. The layout spreads across a large area with different zones for pedestrians and nature observation.
Local authorities commissioned this park in 2004, selecting architects GBGV and botanist Carlo Morici to create an ecological space within the resort area. The project addressed the need for green spaces in this densely developed tourist zone.
The space displays the Pistacia atlantica tree, a symbol of the Arona municipality, alongside native Canarian plants and dragon trees. This vegetation creates a local identity within the resort area and connects visitors to the islands' natural heritage.
The park is located near schools, sports courts, and medical facilities with numerous walking paths to explore. Visitors find accessible entry points and various zones for outdoor recreation.
The grounds contain about forty different palm species planted in regular patterns, including rare baobab specimens from Africa. This collection makes it a botanical laboratory in the open air with tropical species from multiple continents.
