National District Mayor David Collado has announced a series of activities that will be held on the promenade (Malecon) in Santo Domingo and in different parks during Easter Week so that those people who decide to stay in the city have areas where they can go to enjoy time with their families. The areas include Plaza Güibia, La Canquiña park on Padre Castellanos Avenue along with Cristo Rey Park.
The Mayor also announced that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday they will take advantage of a lower amount of traffic to collect garbage, with 1,000 people participating in the collection along with more than 150 garbage trucks. This will ensure that those who go away for the holiday period will return to a clean city.
He said that for the third year running there will be no temporary swimming pools set up, but there would be a domino tournament taking place (which used to be held in Boca Chica), a basketball tournament, dancing competition, and clowns and face painting for the children.
