“This investment is one of the first benefits of the decentralization funds in the Municipality of Panama. The works are part of the project that the Alcaldía of Panamá has to improve public spaces in the 23 corregimientos of our district, and I congratulate the vision and the effort”, said President Varela.

The complex acts as an asset to promote health and wellness within the corregimiento, as well as an asset to the public schools.  With the Extended Day being implemented within schools, Belisario Porras gives children productive ways to spend these additional hours.  Additionally, the facility aids in building links between their education, their community, and their health while keeping away from the dangers and criminal world of the streets.

The Belisario Porras complex includes a baseball field, a full sized soccer pitch for competitive play, and a mini soccer square for children.  Completed with amenities such as bathrooms, changing rooms, and a communal house, Belisario Porras is a full service community resource for the corregimiento.  The facility features Act Global’s Xtreme Turf F50, a durable synthetic grass that is engineered for safety and performance.  This means that the people of Panama will have a reliable and safe sports complex for years to come.

We applaud the Panama community on their efforts to inspire health and happiness within their neighborhoods.
