The redirecting of the River Turia that ran through Valencia in order to avoid the periodic flooding that the city suffered left an expanse of land crossing from the east to west, surrounded by the old town and city centre. After a profound urban study an ambitious project produced a fantastic river-bed park with all sorts of facilities for children, sporting activities, ponds, fountains and the wonderful infants’ park – the Parque del Gulliver.

This delightful garden, recently inaugurated in front of the Palau de les Arts, has an area of 10,000 square metres. It includes three areas of children's playgrounds. Decorated with two ornamental pergolas, it is made up of more than 600 trees and thousands of bushes and flowers.
