Best Wax Spa Palm Springs



Raimondi Park is at the height of block 1 of the Malecón Cisneros. Raimondi Park was reopened in 2005 after a large investment in infrastructure and green areas. With this park, the Municipality of Miraflores also won the Parks and Gardens in 2006, due to the ecological value of the park and the benefits that this stems from the neighbors. Currently, this park covers an area of \u200b\u200b36 thousand square meters. It has a labyrinth of shrubs, pine forest, a lighted pool, six balconies with ocean views, three mini gyms, playgrounds and is surrounded by trails and bike paths properly defined.





In the southern part of the park is the "Parapuerto, a park area designed exclusively for paragliding and hang gliding. Unlike the rest of the park in this area, the wall around the edge of the cliff, and to protect inattentive pedestrians from falling off the cliff, is located several dozen meters away from the cliff edge. It is possible to take off and land safely paragliding and comfort without having to go through a wall one meter high before taking flight.




original design of the renovation of the park did not provide these characteristics, but, fortunately, the Municipality of Miraflores coordinated with glider pilots and glider appropriate modifications in the design of the park to make it possible to practice these sports, resulting in the relocation of the wall, a gazebo and the pine forest, which originally was to be planted near the Parapuerto, which would have greatly complicated the landings.




Many years before the Raimondi Park renovation, the glider pilots had to navigate a series of obstacles to fly in this area. First, there was no grass to run out the paraglider and prepare, instead there was a concrete mini-soccer pitch quite rough and dusty. This court was a bad place to take off, but was much worse place to have a bad landing. Another problem was the wooden fence that bordeba the edge of the cliff to take off there were two options: Make a big jump and go over just before take off or go walking through a narrow opening in the fence. Both options represent danger, if they decided to jump, one could get half his body outside the park and a half body inside, which was very painful, on the other hand, if you chose to walk by the opening of the fence with the foil inflation, the reserve parachute, located in the back of the harness, could get caught in the fence, which could open in flight and the pilot would be to "roll the wind. Another obstacle was a huge electric power meter concrete five feet high located right in the middle of the edge off the cliff as well get in the takeoff and landing, vibrated and sounded by electricity passing through it . Finally, as there was nothing to demarcate the area of \u200b\u200bflight with the rest of the park on weekends, it was an immense human wall, located along the hillside, made by curious that despite the warnings, they wanted to see more closely at the wing.




Fortunately, with the refurbishment of the park, all these problems were solved: We planted grass, is romovio the electric meter and fence, and built a concrete wall that limits the area of \u200b\u200bthe wing from the rest of the park. However, pilots habemos miss some of these obstacles. Some used to stand for a few minutes on the wooden fence and electric meter just before takeoff or landing time, the curious freak out also accumulated at the edge of the slope, making extreme maneuvers to pass very close at high speeds. But anyway, now is a very safe flight area, suitable for all, perfect for teaching and paragliding Tandem tours provide the public who wants to experience free flight.
