Abstract

This article seeks to succinctly expose how through the efforts of several local and international actors along with various synergies have turned Cuscatlán Park into a revitalized and restructured space, not only because it was necessary, but also so that the population could once again have a space for rest, recreation, a place for the family within the city of San Salvador. This space seeks to be a real option with a variety of activities such as basketball court, picnic tables and cafes, trails for walking and biking, a museum, an exhibition hall and various activities of all kinds. In addition, all these actions are not only innovating the place, but are also aligned with the measures adopted to protect the planet through a global agenda.
