FARM PARK
The development of the La Granja Park began in 1969 and was completed in 1976 to establish a vast area for sports, recreational activities, and strolls. It stands as one of the largest urban parks in the Canary Islands and derives its name from an ancient botanical installation in the city. The park harbours a diverse range of tree species, comprising both exotic and indigenous varieties typical to the region.
