Tlalpan to Open Children's Park in November, Designed with Kids' Input

Tlalpan Mayor Gabriela Osorio announced that the "Parque de las Infancias" (Children's Park) will open in November. Currently under construction in Pedregal de San Nicolás Cuarta Sección, the park's design incorporates proposals from the local Children's Council.

The initiative arose from participatory exercises with children who expressed a need for a public space tailored to play, socialization, and the affirmation of their rights. "They told us they wanted a park for children, and we are already building that park," Osorio stated during the opening of the Tlalpan Summer Course 2026. The park is intended to be a space where children can play, interact, and exercise their rights in a safe environment.

The Children's Council has been instrumental in integrating children's opinions into government decisions, transforming their suggestions into tangible projects. This approach aims to enhance public spaces and improve the conditions for children's development within the Tlalpan district.

Alongside the park announcement, Osorio launched the Tlalpan Summer Course 2026, running from August 3 to 28. The program will offer 500 participants a variety of cultural, sports, educational, environmental, scientific, and recreational activities across different locations. These include workshops on art, science, and technology, music, sports, reforestation efforts, and field trips, such as a visit to the Utopía del Maíz in San Miguel Topilejo.

The summer course is designed to provide children and adolescents with a fun and engaging vacation period, helping them develop new skills, socialize in person, and build friendships. Osorio highlighted that the program also supports families by offering childcare for four weeks, allowing parents and caregivers time for other activities. "We want it to be a month where children have fun, learn, play, and enjoy. One comes into this life to be happy, and life must be lived to the fullest," she expressed.
