**Parque Esperanto Welcomes Pet-Friendly Area and Expansive Recreational Facilities**
The much-anticipated opening of Parque Esperanto in Tijuana offers a fresh green space for the city’s residents with its newly introduced pet-friendly area. This development marks a significant milestone as the park’s first construction phase nears completion, achieving 75% progress. Arturo Espinoza Jaramillo, head of the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Urban Development, and Territorial Reorganization (Sidurt), shared that 125 million pesos have been invested so far into the park’s development, including the reinforcement of surrounding slopes to prevent landslides during rainy seasons.
Designed on the site of the Abelardo L. RodrÃguez dam, Parque Esperanto now features an area dedicated to pets, alongside sports courts and playgrounds for children. The park, which aims to improve Tijuana’s limited green spaces, will encompass five modules in total. Each module will be equipped with parking facilities and recreational areas for children. A significant highlight is a 14-kilometer pathway designed for walking, cycling, and jogging, incorporating both gravel and paved sections.
Operating hours are from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, and entry is free. Weekends are particularly lively, with up to 10,000 visitors enjoying the space. This project is a crucial initiative for Tijuana, addressing the city’s shortage of green areas as noted by the local Environment Secretariat.
