SANTO DOMINGO <\/strong>\u2013 The National District City Hall has delivered the renovated Ta\u00edno Park to the community of Los Cacicazgos\u2014 a modern public space inspired by history, culture, and the spirit of sport that will accompany the city of Santo Domingo on the road to the 25th Central American and Caribbean Games Santo Domingo 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural ceremony was led by Mayor Carolina Mej\u00eda, who highlighted that the park represents \u201ca place of gathering, coexistence, and pride for all residents of the capital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis space does not belong to the City Hall, but to each of you. A sense of ownership is what ensures that we care for it and defend it as a community,\u201d Mej\u00eda told local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Upon her arrival, the mayor was welcomed by Col\u00ed, the mascot of the Santo Domingo 2026 Games, who captured the attention of those present with his charisma and vibrant colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Transformed Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was once a plain green area is now a fully equipped park featuring an outdoor gym, a children\u2019s playground, walking paths, a pet area, LED lighting, and perimeter fencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renovation also included the restoration of a small community amphitheater, designated for cultural and recreational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among its attractions, the new Ta\u00edno Park presents a commemorative sculpture honoring the brotherhood between Cuba and the Dominican Republic, represented by the figures of Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed, M\u00e1ximo G\u00f3mez, and the Ta\u00edno chief Hatuey, symbols of freedom and dignity in the Antilles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details and Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The park includes 1,500 square meters of sidewalks, 5,000 square meters of natural grass, and more than 80 light fixtures. The project is part of Mayor Mej\u00eda\u2019s broad initiative to recover public spaces, with over 205 parks and plazas delivered across the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery park we inaugurate is an opportunity to strengthen coexistence, neighborhood identity, and the mental well-being of our people,\u201d the mayor emphasized, acknowledging the work of the technical teams and community members involved in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration and Symbolism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the ceremony, Luis Mej\u00eda Oviedo, President of Centro Caribe Sports, highlighted the environmental significance of the project, noting the incorporation of 37 native tree species from the countries that will participate in the Santo Domingo 2026 Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, geopolitics expert Iv\u00e1n Gat\u00f3n delivered a brief presentation on the cultural heritage of the Ta\u00edno people and their contribution to Antillean identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Arturo Marroqu\u00edn, General Manager of Industrias San Miguel, expressed the company\u2019s pride in contributing to the project through the donation of the exercise machines installed in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this addition, the National District City Hall reaffirms its commitment to continuing to provide the city with safe, sustainable, and vibrant public spaces, where sport, culture, and history come together with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
