Parc de la Sequieta

Parc de la Sequieta is a family-friendly municipal park in Alaquàs, a town in the province of Valencia just a short trip from the regional capital. Covering roughly 4 hectares, it forms part of the green belt that wraps around the town, giving locals and visitors a shared space for walking, cycling and simply spending time outdoors.

How do you get there?

Alaquàs sits within the greater Valencia metropolitan area, so the easiest options are the metro line running southwest from the city centre or a short drive — there's parking close to the park entrances. From central Valencia the trip usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Since the park connects into the wider ring of green spaces surrounding Alaquàs, it's also reachable on foot or by bike along paths linking the town's neighbourhoods.

What can you see once you're there?

Sequieta is built around active family leisure. Its centrepiece is a recently renovated playground featuring two large climbing towers, colourful rubber safety flooring, and equipment designed to build children's motor skills — one of the first playgrounds in Alaquàs to receive this level of upgrade. The park also has a dedicated cycling path running through it, tree-lined walking lanes, and open areas for informal sport. More recently, the town council added zip lines to the park, giving kids and teenagers an extra reason to visit for something a bit more adventurous.

Who is this park for?

It's designed primarily with families and children in mind, but joggers, cyclists and older residents looking for a quiet stroll use it just as often. Open lawns, shaded walkways and the sports-friendly layout mean the park works both as part of everyday life for people in Alaquàs and as a quick stop for anyone exploring the area around Valencia.

When is the best time to visit?

Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons, with mild temperatures and the greenery at its best. In summer, mornings and evenings are the better choice, since midday heat in the Valencia region can be intense. The playground and zip lines see the heaviest use on weekends and after school in the afternoons, so a weekday morning is the quieter option if you're after some peace.
