From Tvisla Mujeres
Director of Public Works of Isla Mujeres, Miguel Ariel Caballero Garcia, confirmed that the work of "Skate Park" started at the Chiapeneco park area... (that photo is of a 'typical' skate park & not taken in Isla Mujeres.) This is intended for aficionados of the sport, particularly young people, and will include some ramps and obstacles, which are typically used for this activity. This was a decision by the mayor to renovate this area, and to build the first Skate Park of Isla Mujeres. It will involve an investment of 2.5 million pesos and should be ready to open later this month, he said.
