Manatí's Palo Alto basketball court rehab clears two early steps
The Municipio Autónomo de Manatí has two approved early filings to rehabilitate the Palo Alto basketball court at PR-672, km 0.9, Sector Palo Alto, Coto Sur, Manatí, and no construction permit on record yet. Its environmental compliance determination by categorical exclusion was filed on May 25, 2026 and is recorded as approved.
That filing, case 2026-691100-DEC-327931, covers the rehabilitation and improvement of the court's recreational facilities. A categorical exclusion certifies that a routine, predictable action needs no further environmental planning.
An infrastructure recommendation request for improvements to the Palo Alto community court followed, filed on July 10, 2026 and is recorded as approved (case 2026-698316-SRI-331602). That request checks with the permits office whether infrastructure is available for a project before a construction permit is sought. Neither case number carries a construction permit, so the project is at an early stage.
A run of court projects in Manatí
Palo Alto is one of several basketball courts in Manatí moving through the same steps. The Luchetti court, also in Coto Sur, filed its environmental exclusion on May 23, 2026 and its infrastructure request on July 10, 2026, both recorded as approved. The Boquillas court filed its environmental exclusion on May 25, 2026, recorded as approved, and a legal pre-consultation on September 28, 2026.
On July 1, 2026, 5 buildability pre-consultations were filed for other Manatí courts, among them Mónaco I, Mónaco II, Villa Amalia and Monte Verde. The newest filings in the run are two environmental exclusions filed on October 15, 2026 and recorded as approved, for demolishing the courts of the Laguna de Tortuguero and Guayaney communities.
