Full opening of the first section of Parque El Tesoro, a recreational and cultural space serving the community of Puerto Colombia and the metropolitan area

• With the opening of its first section, Parque El Tesoro, located in Puerto Colombia, now offers 18,656 m² of public space, incorporating new areas for community well-being, including two tennis courts, rest areas, and extensions to both the bike path and contemplative trails.
• This inauguration marks the completion of the first phase of the future Central Park of Ciudad Mallorquín, which will span a total of 71,000 m², becoming a metropolitan landmark for Barranquilla and the entire region.
• This project strengthens the network of public spaces in the area, promoting sports, culture, and community gatherings in a green, accessible, and sustainable environment.
• El Tesoro is part of the network of parks developed by Grupo Argos over the past decades in the metropolitan area of Barranquilla, which today offers nearly 212 hectares of public space. This ensures a rate of over 7 m² of public space per inhabitant in its adjoining urban developments, exceeding the average of Colombia’s major cities.

The residents of Puerto Colombia and Barranquilla, in the department of Atlántico, are celebrating a new milestone with the full opening of Parque El Tesoro, which now spans 18,656 m². Since the delivery of its initial 14,240 m², this space has become a vital gathering point for the local community, hosting recreational, sports, and cultural activities that have strengthened the social fabric of the area.

Within this space, the community can enjoy a wide range of areas and services, including:
