With an area of 50,000m2 the Filet de Fora Palm Tree Park is a true paradise in the city centre. Its vegetation is formed by a wide range of palm trees, native fruit trees and shrubs and in its centre there is a pond which delights the eye and cools the spirit.
This park is fruit of the restoration and fusion of the former Huertos de Monjo, Borreguet and Casimira palm plantations. As well as being pleasing to the eye, the park is equipped with football pitches, basketball courts and caliche and boules areas. It is the ideal place to enjoy a moment of peace and calm and nature at its best.
