San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero Lugo has announced the launch of the request for proposals (RFP) process for the construction of a new skateboarding park at El Escambrón.
The initiative is part of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to strengthen and expand recreational and sports infrastructure across the capital city.
“This new skateboarding park reflects our vision of making San Juan a city where sports, families, and recreation have access to top-quality facilities,” Romero Lugo said. “We continue investing in projects that promote well-being, development, and opportunities for our people.”
The project aims to create a modern, safe and accessible space designed for thousands of young people and families.
The Bidding Board has published RFP-2026-008, titled CRP-000935 Escambrón Skateboarding Park, available to interested contractors as of this past Monday, Nov. 24. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held on Monday, Dec. 1 at 11 a.m., and the deadline for submitting proposals is Jan. 15, 2026, at 10 a.m.
Plans for the park include a molded concrete skate track with areas designed for different types of movements and skills, a multipurpose plaza, shaded green spaces, and amenities for athletes and visitors. The design meets international standards and incorporates accessibility, sustainability and resilience criteria.
The project will be funded through a combination of municipal resources and federal funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Puerto Rico Department of Housing’s Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program, ensuring a modern and secure facility aligned with the highest standards.
“San Juan continues to move forward with projects that address the real needs of our communities,” Romero Lugo added. “With this initiative, we strengthen the city’s recreational infrastructure and reaffirm our commitment to creating safe, accessible, and high-quality spaces for everyone.”
RFP documents and requirements can be obtained free of charge at the Purchasing and Bidding Division of the Municipal Secretary’s Office, located on the 15th floor of the Municipal Tower on Carlos E. Chardón Street in Hato Rey.
This project will definitely be an interesting Steal Brainrot Game destination for young people and families. Hope everyone will share ideas or comments so that the park can truly meet the needs of the community and be safe for everyone.
