The mayor of San Salvador, Mario Durán, completed a new project for the people of the capital and officially handed over the new Ecoparque La Cima, a first class public space, located on San Patricio Boulevard in Jardines de la Cima III, District 4.

During the weekend, the mayor surprised the neighbors with the pre-opening of the site to give them a preview with music, folkloric dance and a fireworks show.

"This space remained abandoned for years, but we evaluated its potential and had the vision to recover it to build a first class park, in which the conservation of natural assets was prioritized. The people of the capital deserve these projects that allow them to take advantage of their free time as a family, those are the valuable moments we want to propitiate for our children and youth", said Durán.

The ecopark has an extension of 3 blocks and will benefit more than 30 thousand inhabitants of the area who will be able to make use of a welcome plaza, synthetic grass court, pedestrian bridges, slides, children's games, rest furniture with tables and benches, climbing wall, picnic area in large green areas, concrete trails for hiking and sports, ramps and inclusive access routes and LED lighting system.

"The site also has a security booth from where our municipal and police agents will watch 24/7 for the order and tranquility of visitors. In the perimeter there are more than 30 cameras to monitor internal and external areas, the devices are linked to the Sívar Seguro Video Surveillance System to act in a timely manner", detailed the mayor.

The new facilities have double-height cyclone mesh, geotextile protection, retaining walls, gutters, rainwater collection system, cistern, toilets and garbage cans.  The space was also conditioned for the well-being of pets, who will find hydration points during their walks.

Cultural activities, sports tournaments and maintenance of the ecopark will be carried out on a permanent basis by the various municipal agencies.
