The contract amount of the first phase exceeded €2.5 million.
The Project was co-financed by 2/3 by the Department of Town Planning and Housing, Ministry of Interior and by 1/3 by the fund of the Municipality of Pegeia. The construction works of the contract included the construction of a pedestrian / bicycle path, square and sitting areas, playgrounds, sports areas and the landscaping of green spaces, which will compose a single linear seaside multifunctional park.
