The City Government of the National District (ADN) has been criticized for its children’s playground facilities that are later abandoned and taken over by homeless people. A report in Listin Diario says this has been the case in several parks, including Jardines del Norte (John F. Kennedy), Nunez de Caceres (remodeled at a cost of RD$358 million).
ADN general secretary Andres Navarro said that the city government has a new unit for maintenance that began operations this March and will work on these playgrounds and others such as those located in La Cienaga and El Duarte.
He also announced that work would continue on remodeling the Paseo Maritimo on the Malecon as well as a second phase on the western side of the avenue.
