The Manresa City Council has finished planting eight new trees in the small rest area on Sant Fruitós street, located in the Saldes-Plaça Catalunya neighborhood, to provide much-needed shade.

This urban space, situated across from the Pujolet sports hall, had been without shade since last year when a large protected weeping willow died and had to be removed. To restore the area, gardening teams have now planted eight silver linden trees (Tilia tormentosa) across the site.
In addition to the trees, 56 climbing plants (Virginia creeper) have been added along the surrounding wall. A new automatic irrigation system has been installed to support the growth of the vegetation. The park is currently closed to the public while workers finish repairing the ground and completing the landscaping.
Local authorities are concerned about the misuse of the area as an unofficial dog park. There are fears that pet waste could kill the young trees before they have a chance to take root. Proper maintenance and neighbor cooperation will be essential for the success of this green renovation.
