Demolition work began yesterday on the tennis and mini-basketball courts at Prat del Roure in Andorra la Vella's Vedors neighbourhood. The local council aims to transform the 800-square-metre site—located between Passatge d'Arnaldeta de Caboet and Carrer Paraires—into a new landscaped play area for children, complementing existing facilities.
The project, expected to last 12 weeks, involves removing asphalt, refilling with soil, planting trees, laying natural grass, reconfiguring public lighting, and installing an automatic irrigation system. The children's zone will feature play structures with sand and safety rubber flooring.
The tennis courts have been relocated to the roof of the Falgueró car park. Recent heavy snowfall there two weeks ago collapsed the surrounding and covering metal netting, delaying the opening of these facilities, which had been imminent. The mini-basketball court will not be relocated.
