Parque La Ceiba, Riviera Maya

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), green areas are indispensable for healthy human development, and recommends cities to at least have 9 m2 of green areas per person.

In Quintana Roo, accelerated urban and tourist development have sacrificed green areas and city inhabitants do not have enough space for healthy family leisure in a natural environment.
Because of this, La Ceiba Park, the Heart of Playa was created as an initiative of Flora, Fauna and Culture of Mexico, A.C. (FFCM). It was also an invitation to the different sectors of the community to teach people about the importance of having public spaces that promote environmental and human health in our city.

Parque La Ceiba is an important step that will contribute to improving the quality of life for people, and at the same time offer spaces for the conservation of our natural and cultural heritage.

It offers free and open spaces like pathways, an amphitheatre, multiuse rooms, exposition areas, kiosks, picnic areas, children's playground, as well as a nursery that promotes the rescue of local vegetation. Besides the cultural and environmental benefits, Parque La Ceiba is an example of the benefits that can be reaped from the alliances among the private sector, government and society's initiative proposing programs and projects that contribute to reaching an equilibrium between urban and tourist development with the human, cultural and natural side of it, using the creation of green areas and spaces for family recreation and cultural development for Playa del Carmen's population.

At Parque La Ceiba you can try art workshops and physical activities. In addition to this, one saturday each month, “Sábados de Tianguis” are organized, there you can buy and sell food from the region, arts & crafts, plants, and much more.
