Benalmadena, Paloma Park

Walking around Paloma Park in Benalmadena, you are sure to see something different each time you visit! The park is a haven for wildlife, although only 3-4 mins walk from the beach, its almost like having a walk in the country side. You will see tame rabbits running around right next to the hens and cockerel's which roam freely around the park, and can sometimes even be seen walking along the pavements outside!

Here is 'George' the gander a favorite of the locals who live near the park.
He is quite a character and seem's to boss the otherbirds about. He is seen here 'flexing his muscles' to all the other birds !

Last year the lake in Paloma Park was given a total clean-up which involved draining and scraping all the debris and dirt from the bottom. It is now looking much better now that its finished and as these photos show the swans and ducks etc can now enjoy the water once again!
The park is open daily with no charge for admission.
All the wildlife is free to roam as they please, so its quite common to see cockerels and chickens out on the street as you walk past the park gates! Rabbits also live in the park, but they are not the wild grey or brown ones you would expect. They are quite tame and will come and eat from your hand.
