El proyecto Parque Mapocho Río presenta un 94% de avance

The Mapocho Río Park project, developed between the neighborhoods of Quinta Normal and Cerro Navia, has an area of 52 hectares and 9 kilometers in length, and will offer citizens a new space for leisure, recreational sports and encounters with nature.

FCC Construction has developed five of the six sections included in the park. Currently, the project is 94% complete.

The design of the park was carried out jointly with the community, through various instances of citizen participation where the residents themselves expressed their opinion about the spaces and structures that they wanted to have, and that today are already a reality.

The first section, which is the continuation of the family park to the Los Suspiros Bridge, was inaugurated in September 2021 and today is under the administration and conservation of Parquemet, an institution dependent on the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.

This includes a multi-court, sports equipment, outdoor gym, dog park, picnic area, children's games, green areas, cycle path and a large skatepark bowl designed by the National Professional Skateboarding Association of Chile.

At the end of July of this year, the residents of Quinta Normal were able to enjoy the second section of the park, one of the most anticipated for its innovative facilities. This section has a skatedrome, a structure that has served as a training venue for the Parapan American Games that will be held in Chile at the end of this year. It has a climbing wall, a soccer field with fully equipped dressing rooms, multi-court, bike path, calisthenics circuit, exercise machines, water games, children's games, SlackLine area among others.

In this last stage, sections three, four and five will add new recreational and sports facilities to the Cerro Navia neighborhood.

Section 3 is 88.38% complete and the following facilities stand out: athletics track, outdoor gym, parking area; cycle path, water games, amphitheater, picnic area. Also, the Mapuche Ceremonial Center is located.

Regarding section 4, it presents 91.78% of the works executed. This highlights the landscaping, the reflecting pool, the natural amphitheater and the children's games. The importance of this section lies in the protection docks against potential river flooding.

In this section, the first Monument in honor of the Women of Chile called “Weaving identities” is located, which was the winner in a contest promoted by the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality.

Section 5 includes a greater amount of sports infrastructure, presenting 89.65% progress. This section has the second Skatepark, the second soccer field; four multi-courts, which are equipped to play baby soccer, volleyball, basketball and tennis.
