Continúa cerrado el parque Las Tortugas
0 23 de noviembre de 2015 by Cliserio E. Cedillo
Las Tortugas park was closed two months ago, for maintenance, and although it appears that the renovation work has been completed, the park has not been reopened. This is a very popular playground because it is near the colonias of La Gloria, Amplification La Gloria, and Guadalupana, and parents want it reopened. They also say there is a need to repair some streetlights.

Former mayor Gerardo Magana Barragan wrote about Jose del Carmen Pastrana de Paz, whose name was given to the well known basketball court next to the Town Hall, and he wrote about the history of this court.
The author was 13 years old in 1958, when the sports icon (Jose del Carmen Pastrana de Paz) was practicing basketball on a court they had built by bringing stones from the bottom of the bay, and then covering them with cement and boards. A list of cohorts is given, including Pepe Magaña his brother Rogelio (Chilero), Edgardo Marfil, Antonio Ríos, Fabián Magaña Barragán (the author's brother), and his inseparable friend José del Carmen Pastrana Paz, Romeo Magaña, Joaquín Poot Díaz, Esteban Lima Zuno, (El Chivo Lima), Manuel Figueroa, Wilberth “Wilo” Miranda, Fernando Baloté, the brothers Porfirio y Benito Martínez He recalls the charisma and natural leadership of Jose del Carmen Pastrana de Paz.

In the early 1960's, due to social and pastoral work by Father Bernardo (James Bernard Tagle) and help from Admiral Pedro Calderon and his wife Ema, they improved the court and it was the first basketball court with an electric scoreboard.
