Playa del Carmen Kicks Off Eight-Park Renovation Under Parquemanía Program

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Mayor Estefanía Mercado, accompanied by Infrastructure and Public Works Secretary Dorys Ake, launched rehabilitation work on eight parks across several city neighborhoods, the opening phase of the Parquemanía program, which aims to recover and upgrade 173 public spaces.

“Families of Playa del Carmen, we have started work on eight parks as part of the urban improvement actions carried out by the municipal government, to dignify gathering spaces in the neighborhoods and meet the needs of residents,” the mayor said.

The parks scheduled for work are Chorlos in the third stage of Villas del Sol; Curva Paraíso, Trébol, GN and Flamboyanes in Misión de las Flores; Canarios in Palmas 2; Fragata in Villas del Sol; and a park on Elenias street in Palmas 1.

13.3 Million Pesos From Federal Funds

Ake said the eight projects represent an investment of 13.3 million pesos drawn from the Fund for Municipal Strengthening (Fortamun), and will benefit 59,134 residents.

The work includes building walkways, installing streetlights and playground equipment, adding synthetic turf areas, placing concrete benches and tables, setting up outdoor exercise equipment and planters, and painting and repairing sports courts, among other improvements.

Officials described the effort as an investment in well-being, health, safety, the environment and community life.
