  • The Cuauhtémoc mayor's office has rehabilitated the Peñafiel Park in the Obrera neighborhood.
  • The renovation includes improvements to the security booth, children's play areas, and general park amenities.
  • The project is part of a broader initiative to revitalize public spaces across the 33 neighborhoods in Cuauhtémoc.

Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, inaugurated the rehabilitation of Peñafiel Park in the Obrera neighborhood on Wednesday. The project aims to enhance public spaces and improve security within the community.

The renovation focused on restoring the park's security booth, which will now house a police unit to bolster safety in the area. Additionally, improvements were made to children's play equipment, planters, benches, lighting, and paved sections. Pruning and general landscaping were also part of the upgrade.

Mayor Rojo de la Vega emphasized the importance of these spaces for community use, encouraging residents to engage in sports and cultural activities. She pledged to continue efforts to recover public spaces throughout all 33 neighborhoods within the Cuauhtémoc borough.

The Peñafiel Park rehabilitation is part of the "Renace Cuauhtémoc" program, which is dedicated to revitalizing public areas. The Obrera neighborhood is set to receive further urban improvements with an upcoming investment of 11 million pesos, recently approved by the Cuauhtémoc Council.

These spaces are yours. They are for you to use, to socialize, and to activate them with sports and culture. We will not rest until all 33 neighborhoods have recovered spaces.
