The mayor Giovani Gutiérrez has instructed me to inform you about the complete rehabilitation of this sports center located in the heart of Coyoacán, as well as to listen to your concerns and invite you to learn the details of the project.

The rehabilitation plan includes upgrading sports equipment, renovating the boxing area, maintaining a multifunctional space, repainting courts, supplying new benches, and overhauling restrooms and the park's fountain. Additionally, a new security booth and an entrance gate for the children's area will be constructed, along with the replacement of impact-absorbing flooring and the cobblestone paths throughout the park.

International boxing champion Francisco "El Coreanito" Mateos, who has been teaching boxing at the facility for years, attended the meeting and applauded the plans. The project underscores the local government's focus on improving public recreational spaces for the benefit of the community.

We are here to listen to you and share the details of the actions. I want to give you certainty that this work is carried out with full transparency and for the benefit of all of you.
