In Puerto Vallarta, there are currently many attractions for national and foreign tourists, from our classic and famous beaches, to magical hidden corners in our port such as the restaurant "Las Carmelitas" or the walks through the mountains offered by various tourist agencies But what about the villager? The one who with his work keeps tourism and the entire industry that revolves around it going, it is true, we have forgotten about that person, what if this villager had his own area dedicated to them and tourists alike ?.
Taking as a reference the state recreational park "Morelos" located in the border city of Tijuana, subsidized by the government, I propose that this concept be transferred here, which could be carried out by private initiative or Why not? The municipal or state government in turn could also carry it out if municipal or federal owned land will become available.
Said proposal can be carried out without straying too far from the city or reaching stratospheric prices of entrance fee, however it requires good planning as well as a minimum initial capital destined for the project of approximately $ 10,000,000 M / N, however, being a Recreational area dedicated to the citizen, he will frequently go to spend some time with his family, exercise, ride a bicycle or simply rest, which translates into the recovery of the initial investment in a medium term since he will not stop going to this area The Vallarta citizen, a very clear example would be how, in the absence of this type of park, people choose to visit the most popular squares in Puerto Vallarta, such as “Galerías Vallarta” or “Plaza Caracol”,areas with a high influx of people throughout the year but that have a high cost for the lower-middle socioeconomic stratum, that is why a low-cost alternative where practically everything could be done is a “potential business”.
There are 2 large areas within the city that could host said recreational park without leaving the city, since Puerto Vallarta is a city that barely scratches half a million inhabitants, one of them would be the extensive area located in front of the Villas Universidad and Sendero de Luna on Av. México, located behind the Lienzo Charro “Ibarria” and would have a minimal environmental impact because said recreational park must be ecologically sustainable, in addition to being precisely one of its main attractions.
However, this is a protected natural area for which negotiations with the federal government would be required in addition to presenting an ecologically friendly project, making it the least viable option.
The second alternative could only be carried out through private initiative, acquiring the land located on Los Tules Avenue almost upon reaching the bridge that connects the “Fluvial Vallarta” neighborhood with the “Aramara” neighborhood.
That is why a significant initial capital would be required since this area is considered to be of high capital gain and the cost per square meter will be high.
It is worth mentioning that in both cases a field investigation will be necessary to know the exact costs since these are estimates.
As for the recreational park, it will offer security services, fencing the area that the park encompasses, offering security agents who maintain tranquility within the park and give families peace of mind that they will not be victims of any theft.
It will establish 2 kiosks that will mainly offer bottled drinks and snacks, both located at opposite ends, since one end will be destined for the recreational part and another for those fans of some sport. In the recreational part, fixed grills could be placed so that families who come to this park do not have to carry extra charges, in addition to distributing children's games around this part and establishing a cycle track around the perimeter of the park for those who like to circulate with their bikes to relax.
On the sports side, two multipurpose fields could be placed, as well as a soccer field.
Without a doubt, the lack of a recreational area, of someone who looks at the citizen, of that person who keeps this city running, seems incredible to me, in-depth studies are needed around this project, but the study of a month What I managed to do has indicated to me that this could be an opportunity that pays great benefits in the medium term, as well as being a strategic place to place third-party advertising.
Who knows? It could become the quintessential low-cost attraction for the locals, no doubt to ponder.
