In the heart of Olia Speciosa, the main hamlet of Castiadas, the eucalyptus trees will no longer be there. In their place, there will be stone pines, cork oaks, white poplars, southern ash trees, and mountain maple trees. And then there will be plenty of greenery, raised paths, "rain gardens" (which host wildlife and native vegetation and, under certain conditions, release water into the atmosphere), games, story boards, colorful squares, and educational benches.

This will be a 24-hour park located between the town hall, schools, library, and church. The park will be created thanks to one million euros that the Region (through the "Bosco in Transizione" call for proposals) has made available to the municipal administration: Castiadas was one of the very few towns funded.

"The central area of Olia Speciosa," explained Castiadas Mayor Eugenio Murgioni, "will become a large green and social hub. We are redesigning the entire village; in the coming years, a new school and town hall, complete with a square, will be inaugurated. The park will integrate perfectly with the new facilities and will contribute to improving the urban landscape and the organization of services. It will become an ideal place for school classes, families, seniors, and tourist groups." Work could begin as early as the end of 2026.
