### Residents of Las Palmas Call for Transfer of Las Américas Park to Local Municipality
Residents of Las Palmas are urging state authorities to hand over control of Las Américas Park to the local municipality. The community, led by neighborhood committee president Claudia Esparza, is vocal about their demands, highlighting the hurdles they face in maintaining and enhancing the park. Esparza expressed the community’s wish for the state government to cede the property to the municipal authorities, emphasizing that neither the state nor the municipality has been willing to provide funding for the park. Consequently, it falls upon the residents themselves to invest in the upkeep of various park areas.
This has led to significant challenges, not only financially but in terms of safety, as the park has seen an increase in insecurity and a rise in the number of aggressive stray dogs in the area. The community wants more support and infrastructure improvements to create a safe and welcoming environment for its residents.
In a related issue, residents of the nearby Las Cumbres area are advocating for better roads, improved access points, and a communal park, signaling a wider call for local infrastructure and safety measures.
