Worn-out rubber pavement with holes in a children's playground area.

Several families in Tàrrega have raised the alarm regarding the severe deterioration of the playground in Plaça del Pare Carles Perelló, known as Plaça de la Pia, demanding urgent action due to the risk of injury.

The children's playground located in the Plaça del Pare Carles Perelló in Tàrrega, situated directly in front of the Escola Pia, is in a very poor state of conservation, according to complaints from local parents. The main issue lies with the protective rubber pavement, which is extremely worn and has visible holes, especially beneath the swings.

A prolonged lack of maintenance in a highly frequented public space intended for the city's youngest residents.

This pavement wear, which affects areas adapted for children with disabilities, significantly increases the risk of falls and injuries. Furthermore, for several months, a spring rocker has been surrounded by construction fences, rendering it unusable and posing an additional hazard to children.
In response to the complaints, the Councillor of Urban Planning, José Luis Marín, confirmed that the Tàrrega City Council is working on drafting a comprehensive remodeling project for the entire square.
