San Carlos Park begins a new stage, in which planning, sustainability, and citizen participation will be the keys to protecting this iconic place and heritage of all residents of Concordia.
The Municipality has formalized the regulation of Ordinance No. 38,352, which defines new rules for use, circulation, and conservation for San Carlos Park, declared a protected natural area.
Efforts will also be made to foster entrepreneurial development and explore new experiences for visitors. The gastronomic service at the Hostal del Río will be put out to tender to provide unique experiences with a privileged view of the Uruguay River. This proposal will be complementary to that of the “Environmental Interpretation Center,” where cultural activities are currently held.
The measure was developed with the intervention of different technical areas of the municipality (Tourism, Environment, Architecture, Traffic, and Engineering), who worked together to ensure a comprehensive approach that preserves the environmental, historical, and cultural value of the park.
WHAT CHANGES WITH THIS REGULATION?
Any intervention on vegetation or infrastructure without prior authorization is prohibited. Recreation zones and green areas will be delimited with signage.
An Internal Mobility Plan has been established, defining specific routes for vehicles, buses, pedestrians, and cyclists, with a signaling system in accordance with the National Traffic Law.
Among the highlights of the new Mobility Plan:
The circulation of up to 10 light vehicles simultaneously is permitted, with a maximum stay of one hour.
Priority vehicle access for senior citizens (75+), pregnant women, and people with reduced mobility.
Buses will be allowed to enter and park temporarily in the Castillo area.
Specific parking lots have been defined. At the Hostal del Rio Interpretation Center and in the adjacent space called the Animal Care Center. Temporarily, they may do so on the premises of Castillo San Carlos, Monument to the Oriental Exodus. In addition, progress has been made in improving access, lighting, and signage along Chajarí street.
The maximum speed in the park will be 20 km/h with hazard lights on.
Likewise, the temporary closure of the access to the Salto Chico Viewpoint has been ordered, for safety reasons, until the corresponding works are completed.
The Secretariat of Productive Development highlighted that “this regulation allows us to take care of our environmental heritage and organize it so that we can all enjoy it with responsibility and safety.”
