The Mayor of Reus, Sandra Guaita, inaugurated this February the new climate shelter at the General Prim school, a renaturalized space that will be open to the public outside of school hours.

Part of the RENATUReus project and funded by Next Generation grants, this initiative transforms school grounds into community parks. The pilot program aims to provide more green spaces in urban areas. The site features 22 new trees, over 1,500 plants, and a large green pergola designed to provide shade and a comfortable meeting point.
The renovation replaced concrete with sustainable materials like sand and wood chips. Public access will be available from 4:30 PM on school days and during standard park hours on weekends, staying open until 10:00 PM during the summer months to serve as a cool refuge for the neighborhood.
