Ajijic Malecon Skateboard Park Relief


Recommended Posts

BINGO suegarn!!!!

No drainage is very dumb. IF they had put in drainage (drilling through the bottom) AND used better quality soil, the bowls would have made very nice planters for trees, shrubs or gardens. Unless, of course, they are going to sponsor mud wrestling in the rainy season.

Even with a drain hole, the water table due to higher lake levels makes draining impossible.  I agree about turning it into a planting area and with its depth, it can be safely planted now, even with current lake level. 

It was a bad design to construct the bowl so close to the malecon as I have seen skaters (and those on bikes) soar out of the bowl into pedestrians.

there was a hole in the bottom. A drain which backed up which caused the problem. They are going to fill it in and cement over it and put rails for the kids to use  as part of their skateboarding activities. Work should be done in 2 weeks mexican time.

Good idea on railing to keep pedestrians safe.

the bowl was poorly designed. Once in it, it was almost impossible to get out. The rails will support keeping the kids off the benches and will give them a say in what they would like to see in their area.
