The track is the responsibility of the Palmanyola Minor Local Entity - like a council within a council, Bunyola in this case. It was faced with faults with the track and with overcoming a legal process.

Arnau Llinàs, the mayor, explains that there is now certification from a specialist company in Barcelona. This establishes that the track now complies with regulations. It can be enjoyed "safely", Llinàs adding that he is "pleasantly surprised by the number of children in the afternoons and on weekends who are having a good time".
