Come and enjoy the new spaces at Cancun Park! We inaugurated the Parkour Garden, the Paseo México Desconocido, the Museum of Unspent Waste and the Hall of History of Quintana Roo. In addition, we proudly unveil the plaque that recognizes this natural lung as one of the Top 5 Ecological Parks in our city. 🌳🙌 We invite you to discover one of the most important green lungs in Cancun! 🌿 Credit: Mara Lezama

This week, Cancun Park has unveiled four new thematic spaces with much pomp, fanfare, and promises to bring about family unity, heal the social fabric, and, possibly, solve world peace. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, these new additions are not just a couple of benches and a few trees. Oh no. They’re also equipped to tackle violence and instill a sense of communal harmony. A bit like a theme park, but without the roller coasters, and with more recycled rubbish.

But first, the highlights. Among the newly opened areas, we have the Parkour Garden, a space designed for budding urban athletes who can now leap and vault over obstacles like they're running from something—or towards an Olympic medal. Quintana Roo’s very own parkour superstar, Liam Ponce, will be representing the region in Japan, and frankly, his inclusion in this project is genius. Nothing brings a community together like watching someone dramatically jump off a wall while you sit on a park bench, sipping your eco-friendly, organically sourced juice box. If that doesn’t solve local crime, I don’t know what will.
