Parque Brasil will be better than frozen caipirinha

Parque Brasil is undoubtedly one of the most important green lungs in the south of the capital. With its 51 hectares, it especially benefits the residents of the communes of La Granja, La Florida and San Joaquín.

It is for this reason that the park, built in the 1980s, will undergo an improvement plan by the Minvu, which includes 34.9 hectares that were in loan to the Municipality of La Granja and that will be developed in 3 stages of a Master Plan.

As explained by the Minister of Housing, Felipe Ward, Stage 1 will put a pillory in the most deteriorated area of ​​the park, that is, in the west, along Mañío and Coronel streets (in front of the Yungay population), in addition to considering the access to the park through Punta Arenas street.

The works here began on June 28, 2019 and the total execution will be carried out within two years. In any case, zone 1B is finished, and it will open when the phases of the Step by Step Plan allow its normal operation.

Zone 1 A will be delivered during the last quarter of this year and has an area of ​​10 hectares.

Ward explained that this stage considers goals, dressing rooms, bathrooms, open classroom, maintenance workshop, multi-courts, multipurpose pergolas, water games, exercise machines and a new dam, among other better ones.

The other stages. Regarding Stage 2, this corresponds to the southern zone of the park, which is currently occupied by soccer fields which functioned with deficiencies.

This area faces Yungay street to the south and Punta Arenas street to the east (border with the municipality of La Florida). It is in the design phase and its construction should begin in the second half of 2021.

Finally, Stage 3 is in the area that currently works best within the park, which is the north-east corner.

As Minister Ward explained, “the works of Parque Brasil, one of the largest lungs in the Metropolitan region, and which urgently needed to improve its infrastructure, will benefit more than 500 thousand people living in the communes of La Granja, San Joaquín and La Florida, with family spaces, sidewalks with universal accessibility, fields for different sports and complete equipment that will make it an icon of the city ”.

It should be noted that the total cost of the works reaches 31 billion pesos.
