Akumal Norte Parks and Common Spaces
Keeping Our Shared Spaces Clean and Usable
In addition to our road, Akumal Norte's common spaces include two parks: Don Pablo Bush Memorial park at the point at the south end of Half Moon Bay, and Yalku park, where our Community Center Building is located. Vecinos leads efforts to keep these shared spaces clean and usable for the benefit of all.
Community Clean-ups
Vecinos sponsors and coordinates several Community Clean-up Days each year, where neighbors come together to keep our community beautiful. Donors and local businesses (especially La Buena Vida restaurant) provide workers with snacks and lunch. Each clean-up produces ten or more truckloads of trash and debris to be hauled away. The result is a cleaner community and fantastic community pride and spirit!
Community Center Building
In 2020, Vecinos, with the help of generous donations from community members, completed construction of a Community Center Building in Yalku park. Since then, the building has been the home of the Guardia Nacional, which helps make Akumal Norte the safest community in the Riviera Maya. The building includes offices and a 50-seat community room. When the Guardia Nacional relocates to the Pueblo in the future, the building will be available to the community for meetings, classes, and other events.
Yalku Park Improvements
Yalku Park is green space devoted to Akumal Norte community use. Our vision is for the park to maintain its flora and fauna and give people a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Akumal Norte. Strong, beautifully maintained parks promote strong communities.
