We have been working for four years to protect the beach from illegal developers. We have legally secured 800 square meters of beach for recreational
use and we are ready to begin construction on a project for the people.
Everyone needs to get outside and exercise more. A Beach Fitness trail allows people to try one station or all nine- and at any fitness level.
It will be a good stand-alone workout, or beach running enthusiasts can add the Beach Fitness Trail it to their warm -up or cool-down routines.
Rosarito Beach Activity Trail Fund
The Beach area is protected from development in Mexico through the issuance of Federal Land Titles or Concessions. Anyone can apply for a title,
but the people who live in front of the beach get "first dibs". That has not stopped squatters from delaying plans to create a beach version of the
popular "Fitness Trail" concept on the concession.
100% of donations will be used for concession fees and building a 9 station Beach Fitness Trail from wood, cement, and signage.
If you're tired of seeing this old white man get beat up to protect beach access for the disabled of Mexico- donate. Thanks.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

All better now! The Disabled Beach Access Fund and the Beach Fitness Trail Fund are separate and I got the photos in. Thanks again for the patience:

San Diego offers the use of special Beach Wheel chairs for FREE with on-line reservations. I don't think we can ever get to that point... but wouldn't
it be awesome if we could! We can dream though.

Better!
Now may I suggest a few more changes. I wish to emphasize that I am not trolling anyone here.....
I donate quite a bit to children's needs in three towns...Sacramento, San Felipe, and San Miguel, Cozumel. I do volunteer work with the Sacramento
Children's Advocate...Volunteers of America...Sacramento Children's Receiving Home....more.
Having said all this was not because I want to pose as a Angel ( I certainly am not)....rather because I have been involved with handicapped projects.
Your proposed project is very inadequate for children of disabilities. The playground equipment is that for kids without physical / mental issues.
There cant be anything worst...than taking a disadvantaged child to a park where he/she is forced to watch the others play.
I have added a link so that you may better understood the true needs of this park.

Wow McFez, your offer to help with the design is very cool. When we get to that point I will share them with you and then post the ideas here for more
nomad input. Thanks!
I'd love to see what things we can do for children. Everything has to be oceanproof, bulletproof (the materials used like cement), modular to a degree
to economically replace broken parts, and incredibly strong. It also has to be anchored in cement on it won't last a day. People would rather have
something more basic and sturdy that will be there, than fancy and gone the next day. Building with wood using replaceable wood beams would be a
smart idea. Stuff like that.
I'll bet nomads have a zillion things they have seen that would work for both the disable beach access and the beach fitness trail. Nomads! Please
take pics of cool things we can consider in the design and post them!

It would be wonderful to see Nomads make this an adopted Baja project...

I was thinking the same thing! But good news. Yesterday I discovered the work on the Rosarito Malecon has begun- at our end no less. Let's give it
then a few weeks and see how fast they work!
THE ROSARITO MALECON PROJECT HAS BEGUN! (PROJECTO NORTE)
On my walk I noticed construction work on the north side of the condo tower. Today they were piling small boulders on the edge near the beach (to put
into metal cages as a foundation). I had been seeing activity there for few weeks but was not sure what it was. Today I noticed they had chalked out
an area to extend the under-street storm drain further west towards the water. They are extending that drain so the road and the Malecon can be built
over top of it. I talked with the workers at two locations. One group was building cages for the rocks- I teased them that they must be fishing for
some very large lobsters with traps that size. They confirmed the cages were to hold rocks. We talked about the Malecon Project being good for jobs
and tourism. They opened up after a while of us talking about how badly Rosarito needed the construction jobs and tourism. They had the plans for
the Projecto Norte too (Malecon). I then went to the guys chalking the beach for the drain extension and had a longer talk with them. Same plans and
we talked for while about it and the positive impact for Rosarito.
So the bottom line is that the Rosarito Malecon is coming, and fast. They are going to make the turn south where the storm drain extension is and
then continue Paseo del Mar all the way south with the Rosarito Malecon on the ocean side (of course). They will break down the wall the Playa Bonita
condo people put up to block the street (and I harped about in my video) and continue working south. There are several houses beside Tila's that have
to go and they said it will be distasteful to them, but necessary. So I don't think her friends need to do anything to force her out any sooner and
they won't have to be the bad guys who do it- it will just happen as part of the construction project. That is the most logical reason she is still
there.
Tilas house is modular and she can tow it across the street next to us and have a better location. If she's smart, she will buy that lot and do it
quickly and still come out ahead financially.

I sure hope so. Look good but I don't want to jinx it.
For now, I am going to return the generous PayPal donations you and others have made. If they build the Malecon (looks like it) I will no longer have
to pay the concession fees, the new Disabled Beach Access will be constructed, and my goal to preserve the beach will have been accomplished. If they
don't build it- we will continue with this Disabled Beach Access project and I will happily re-accept the donations at that time. In this tight
economy I don't want to be holding onto people's hard earned money.
