If you live in Tamarindo, you may have been curious about the dump truck, backhoe, and construction crew hard at work on our land between the hotel and the public parking to our North. WRSC has owned this beautiful piece of beachfront property for years, but it has never been fully utilized. <\/p>\n
We started a garden over there, hosted a fun third birthday party for Otis, built a little rancho that served as Holly\u2019s Organic Market for awhile, and had some nice yoga sessions, but more often it has served as a storage area for the old WRSC bus, boats being repaired, and various maintenance supplies. This month, we\u2019re finally turning it into the beachfront park we\u2019ve been planning for years.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what we will be completing over the next few weeks:<\/p>\n
We\u2019re turning the whole area into a recreation and concession area, open to the public, with drinks, beer, BBQ, picnic tables, board rentals, shade tree and umbrellas\u2014all with spectacular beachfront views.<\/p>\n
We have installed a new, safe, ten-meter wide culvert bridge providing access to the green-space and our property from the parking lot, replacing the rickety old log that was the only way to cross the little runoff stream. <\/p>\n
We\u2019re adding new bathrooms and a shower\u2014also open to anyone\u2014which will be available during our business hours from 6AM \u2013 10PM, just behind the rancho.<\/p>\n
The rancho will now serve cold drinks, beer, and BBQ\u2014but everyone is welcome to come and use the picnic tables and enjoy the park whether you eat at the rancho or not. Bring your own food. Bring your family. This is an area to be enjoyed by everyone, not just guests of the surf camp.<\/p>\n
We are moving our board rental area over to the park area as well, which will free up more room in Eat at Joe\u2019s Restaurant, and give some extra space for our surf school and surf tours to operate. Now the board-cage will be directly connected to our expanded ding-repair workshop, and our new board-shaping and glassing rooms, and be easily accessible to our vans for loading and unloading for tours. It doesn\u2019t get any more integrated than this! We\u2019re making \u2018em, fixing \u2018em, and renting \u2018em just steps from where we\u2019re surfing \u2018em!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re doing extensive landscaping with lots of local trees, grasses, plants and flowers throughout the park. We will be using \u201cgreen\u201d pavers (the type where the grass can grow right up through the holes and rain can easily soak into the soil) and watering the garden with the certified treated water from our water treatment plant.<\/p>\n
If you want to check it out or ask questions, call or stop by. We\u2019re happy to give a tour while we\u2019re under construction. We\u2019ve been working closely with the municipality, and they are excited by the public\/private park that we are developing\u2014since there really is nothing else quite like it in the area.<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t wait to hang out in our new beachfront park, and we\u2019re sure locals and guests will dig it too.<\/p>\n
Pura Vida<\/p>\n
