The project restored two iconic facilities that had long been abandoned, the aquatic park “El Rollo”, opened in 1979, and “Atlantis”, the first commercial dolphin aquarium in Mexico City. These empty spaces were transformed into recreational and cultural venues that would encourage a wide range of activities and be accessible and inclusive to all people. The landscape design team developed an inclusive plan to build a variety of amenities including a skate park (bowl and street plaza), footpaths, exhibition areas, a café, an open-air forum, an agora cinema, a parking area, restrooms and a great number of walls that welcome graffiti artists to create a site of artistic expression.
