Yanamilla Playground Left in Ruin as Children Use Hazardous Equipment

Municipal rules make the district responsible for park upkeep.

Overview

  • A local report from Diario Jornada documents a Yanamilla play park in total disrepair that still draws many children each day.
  • Exposed metal, rusted joints, broken slide panels, and swings set over stone bases create clear risks of cuts and falls.
  • Garbage covers play zones, leaving families without a clean space or open toilets as the sanitary facilities remain closed.
  • Neighbors say they asked the Andrés Avelino Cáceres district to clean and repair the site but have received no response.
  • Per current regulations, municipalities must maintain public recreational spaces, placing responsibility for safety on the district government.
