Recreational Park La Libertad, Pavas, San José, Costa Rica

Abstract

The recreational park La Libertad, Pavas was born as a communal project carried out  for the Municipality of San José in 2013, winner of the First Contest “Innovative space for recreation and community coexistence” of MIVAH year 2015. It is currently in the stage of elaboration of constructive plans and permissions. 

The proposal seeks to rescue a community with social problems, such as La Libertad de Pavas, through the granting of a space where they can practice sports and encourage the recreation of its inhabitants. As a result, the project has a study of vegetation specific to this area, as well as its topography, where new activities such as bicicross, Skateboarding, football, recreation areas, fairgrounds and a series of trails were adapted; which give a new dynamic to the site. The new program of the proposal invites the community of Pavas to appropriate the park, presenting activities for different ages along the way.
