Summer has officially given way to fall, and Seville is celebrating with the opening of a long-awaited recreational space for children. This Wednesday, September 23, the much-talked-about Ciudad de los Niños—a park located in the gardens of the Prado de San Sebastián — will open, and will also host a large, free family festival at 6:30 p.m.
The venue has caused a sensation on social media thanks to its thematic design, which pays homage to the aesthetics and symbols of Seville’s major festivals: fair booths transformed into children’s play areas, lanterns, and elements inspired by local traditions.
An opening celebration packed with children’s activities
To celebrate the opening of this attraction, the Seville City Council has planned an afternoon packed with entertainment.
The afternoon promises a children’s circus and live entertainment, inflatable attractions, and game challenges in the venue’s various interactive zones, as well as arts-and-crafts workshops.
The 1,164-square-meter space features elements reminiscent of Holy Week or the fair. In fact, the park is presided over by a structure accessed via a sort of bridge that emulates the Pasarela del Prado.
According to El Correo de Andalucía, the first phase of the project —which includes three additional phases of renovation for the play areas, as well as the addition of new spaces— represents an investment of €921,196.11.
The Ciudad de los Niños, aimed at revitalizing this green space in Seville, combines urban innovation with design tailored to children’s play while respecting the Prado’s natural heritage.
During the presentation of the first phase, Sanz noted that:
