Yesterday we spent a really nice few hours at Paloma Park in Benalmadena. I've always loved this park as it reminds me slightly of when I used to live in London round the corner from Hyde Park.
Paloma Park is great for the kids, there is a big pond where you can feed the ducks and swans ( although these creatures are so massively spoilt for choice that they now tend to turn their noses up at anything but the very best bread! ) chickens and rabbits wonder freely around and are tame enough to feed. There are also other animals in enclosures, a cactus park, another pond where you can remote control steer little boats, and most recently you can hire multi person bikes and little cars for the kids. There is also a massive play area which has recently been added to and improved upon, esp the bit for toddlers ... before it was okay, now it is really nice with new slides, a little house, a sand pit and climbing frames ...
There are cafes in the park and area's for picnic's as well as toilets. So it really is a great park for a day out.
I'm also a fan of Paloma Park because you can take dog's there ( on a lead ) We recently went to Battery Park in Torremolinos with our dog and were a bit cross ( to put it politely ) when we got there and found big signs barring dogs. As any dog lover and dog owner will tell you, a walk in the park with your beloved dog is one of life's pleasures and so it annoys me that a park doesn't allow dogs ... As long as owners keep their pets on a lead and clear up the mess then what's the problem?
Luckily there is no such silliness at Paloma where dog's are welcomed, even by the chickens and rabbits! Which really does make it my number one park for both children and animals ...
