Abstract

Monteverde residents generally work in tourism-based professions, yet do not have the opportunities or funds to experience the excitement behind these tourist exhibits. Sergio's Eco Paz Park attempts to alleviate this problem by working towards providing the community with a community space for themselves. I discuss what constitues sustainable development and the park's current status. I note the current lack of community involvement in the park's development. Through volunteering at the park in constructive ways and recruiting various community members to participate in it I attempted to help the park be more community based.

Resumen

Residentes en Monteverde generalmente tienen trabajos en el turismo, pero no tienen las oportunidades ni el dinero para utilizar estos entretenimientos para los turistas. El Parque Eco Paz de Sergio presta un espacio para la comunidad para disfrutar. Discuto que es desarrollo sostenible y sobre el estado del parque actualmente. Noto que todavía falta mucho desarrollo. Por ser voluntaria en el Parque Eco Paz, yo traté de hacer el parque más basado en la comunidad.
