A 90-square-meter playroom space has also been added with a captivating Jungle theme, providing a dedicated area for children's entertainment. Outdoor play areas, such as a pirate ship and a climbing wall, have been added to further enhance the family-friendly atmosphere.

The design also encompasses a secret and vertical garden, adorned with various natural plant species.

Designed by Chapman Taylor London and Madrid Studios, the project at Gran Plaza 2 takes into consideration the preferences and needs of families who frequent the shopping centre. Alongside the enhanced dining options, "Los Jardines de Gran Plaza 2" will host a wide array of cultural, leisure, and entertainment events. Since June 2023, visitors can experience live music performances, themed nights, and other exciting activities. Additionally, Odeón Multicines, the cinema operator, will open six state-of-the-art cinemas within the shopping centre in September 2023.

The revamped leisure, restaurant, and outdoor spaces of Gran Plaza 2 aim to position the shopping centre as the ultimate summer destination, providing an unparalleled experience for all audiences.
