Other facilities, such as a grandstand, a covered area, shelter areas, tunnels, complete the project for the enjoyment of the children. Furthermore, to reinforce the link with the town, holes are opened in the perimeter walls that generate new visuals for pedestrians within the urban fabric.

Description of project by ELE Arkitektura
Following the language and methodology of the project carried out in the early childhood education area, this second intervention tries to transfer the concepts and sensitivities worked with the youngest students to students between 7 and 12 years old.
By manipulating the topography, an attempt has been made to delimit different spaces and create alternative itineraries, fleeing from the dictatorship of football (and masculinity) in outdoor teaching spaces. This new topography also tries to minimize the impact of the perimeter wall enclosing the plot.
Maintaining the wild and natural character, sinuous hills about 2.5m high have been generated capable of dividing the space into perfectly differentiated areas. Each of the areas has been given a different character. The first is the plaza or meeting area. The second area and the surrounding slopes host gaming and sports activities. Linked to each area, integrated into the slopes that surround them, auxiliary programmatic volumes have been built such as: A stand, a covered area, shelter areas, tunnels...
By opening holes in the perimeter walls, the aim is to generate new visuals for pedestrians within the urban fabric. In this way the bond with the people is strengthened.
