The Tres Cantos City Council has announced a complete renovation of the lake in the Parque de las Islas. This action addresses concerns raised by local residents and regular park users regarding the deterioration of the area and the reduction of its water level.
According to the Council, the lake suffers from design flaws and lacks adequate technical conditions, which has prompted the decision to undertake a comprehensive reform of the infrastructure.
In recent weeks, citizens of the municipality have raised alarms about the potential consequences of the lake's drying up on local fauna, which includes fish, turtles, ducks, crabs, and feral domestic birds. Residents believe that the decreasing water level could affect the survival of these animals and disrupt the environmental balance of the area.
Residents have called for swift intervention to assess the fauna's condition, determine the extent of the effects from the falling water level, and implement protective measures for the animals. They also seek clarification on the causes of the drying and more public information regarding the management of this municipal space.
The municipal response involves a complete remodeling of the lake. According to information provided by the Tres Cantos City Council, the project will correct detected technical deficiencies and adapt the infrastructure to more suitable operating conditions. Currently, specific timelines or project details have not been disclosed, but the intervention is presented as a solution aimed at comprehensively transforming this feature of the Parque de las Islas.
