Parque La Siesta – A New Urban Oasis in Torrevieja

Parque La Siesta in Torrevieja is a modern, multifunctional public space opened in March 2024. Located between Henri Matisse, Ravel, and Guridi streets, it spans 44,000 m², making it one of the largest urban parks in southern Costa Blanca.

Europe’s Largest Asphalt Pump Track

The park’s standout attraction is the **Pumptrack Park Torrevieja**, the largest asphalt pump track in Europe, covering an area of 4,000 m². Designed for BMX bikes, skateboards, scooters, and inline skates, the track is divided into three color-coded sections by difficulty level: beginner (kids), intermediate, and advanced — making it accessible for all ages and skill levels.

The pump track is open daily and free to use. However, visitors should note that there is little shade during hot summer days, so early morning or late evening visits are recommended.
