From La Manzanilla Memo (in the Guadalajara Reporter) October 15, 2011
New Sports and Rec Park
What began as a dream three years ago for several La Manzanilla Mexican movers and shakers is finally taking off. The ejido has donated an approximately 6000 square meter parcel of land just on the other side of the arroyo, near and soccer field, and the committee to oversee its development is anxious to get started. A scale model of the part is on display in the ejido office.
When completed, residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a picnic and children's play area, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, another soccer field, an exercise course, and a planned indoor gymnasium. Trees, native plants, and benches will be located throughout, with shower and lavatory facilities on site.
"As soon as the engineers finish measuring the land and the ejido cedes it to the Parque Recreativo Deportivo de La Manzanilla Comite, the basketball court probably will be finished first," says Juani Navarro Tamayo of Juani Rentals, committee president. Other members include Maria Aurora (Nena) Norvaez, Treasurer, Maestro Tomas Espinoza, Secretary, Lyn Loza, Gabriella Martinez, Ismael R. Garcia, Maria Guadalupe Chavez, and Dean Klompas.
The committee is relying on private and corporate donations from residents and local businesses to continue building their dream. A fund-raising dance was held at the Casino on September 16, and more fund raisers are planned.
