Cancún’s ‘México Imparable’ Community Center Tops 80% Completion in Región 249

Cancún, Quintana Roo — A community center under construction in Cancún’s Región 249 is more than 80% complete and will serve up to 1,000 people a day, officials said at an informational assembly attended by about 2,000 residents.

Mayor Ana Paty Peralta appeared alongside Governor Mara Lezama and Miguel Ángel Torruco Garza, undersecretary for violence prevention at Mexico’s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, to present the “México Imparable” project and its benefits to local families.

Peralta said the facility will become a gathering place where children and young people can develop their talents, learn new skills, play sports, take part in cultural activities and access health services, including mental health care.

“Many people who live around here have watched this building go up, and it is already more than 80% complete. Today, take the chance to get to know the project — we want you to be part of this space from the start,” she told the crowd.

Lezama reaffirmed her commitment to coordination between the different levels of government to push projects that strengthen family well-being and contribute to building peace.

What the Center Will Offer

Torruco Garza said the federally funded project will include a covered multipurpose court, a boxing gym, a soccer field, a running track, an outdoor chess area, restrooms, locker rooms, an administrative module, a health care space and rooms for theater, dance and choir.

The center is expected to benefit residents of Cielo Nuevo, Paseos del Mar, Prado Norte, Villas Otoch, El Milagro, Valle Verde and nearby neighborhoods, expanding access to sports, cultural and wellness activities in that part of Cancún.

During the event, the authorities gave the symbolic starting signal for the project, which forms part of the national “Jóvenes Transformando México” strategy aimed at addressing the root causes of violence and promoting youth development, community participation and the rebuilding of the social fabric.

City officials said the center complements municipal efforts such as the Peace Committees and prevention programs in schools, which encourage citizen participation and the creation of safer environments.
