My dear readers will know where we went on Sunday. Below is the newly-remodeled end of our andador. The tree has a new surround and new trees and shrubs and benches have been added. It didn't take long for cuddling couples to find those benches:
The bike lane on Universidad is looking more serious, with raised barriers and a coat of green paint:
A finished wooden bench and plants in the planters on the corner of our new neighborhood:
And the sports complex near the old train station is taking shape. Here is the new basketball court (how long do you think those flowering shrubs will last?):
The new soccer field (that's Astroturf) with shaded seats for the spectators:
A multi-purpose area, with Vita Par-like stations:
And here we have a sign celebrating the neighborhood's renewal. Nothing like a little self-congratulation, writ large:
Each area of the sports complex has signage indicating the services available. In this sector you will find bathrooms, offices, cafeteria, soccer field, and multi-use field:
And here more bathrooms, forum, physical activity area (a gym, please), cafeteria, offices, agora, music area (youth symphony), and workshop area:
Here is an area reserved for children, with bike parking, gigantic chess board, spiderweb (?), hill game (?), bathrooms for kids, play mountains, open-air theater, infirmary, and water mirror (?):
This is children's area:
We think these are the spiderwebs:
This is the view from the mid-way point in the complex, looking toward the fountains at the end of the andador:
Native cacti plantings:
The pedestrian path with lots of benches:
This photo is taken the top of what we think is the agora, looking back on the whole area. There is seating in the near foreground and an enormous fountain at the base, with water flowing down the central channel to another fountain at the far end:
