In a meaningful step toward equity in enjoying Costa Rica’s natural heritage, the community of Ostional celebrated the inauguration of a new ocean-access boardwalk, built by ProParques Association, an ally of Demain Foundation. This project enables people with disabilities or reduced mobility to witness one of the planet’s most iconic natural spectacles: the mass nesting of sea turtles. 

This initiative aligns with ProParques’ mission, which since its founding in 2006, has worked to enhance visitor experiences in Costa Rica’s protected wild areas and strengthen the capacities of park rangers.

Ostional Accessible becomes the fourth such boardwalk in Costa Rica, joining similar efforts in Cahuita National Park, Manuel Antonio National Park, and Junquillal Beach. All were made possible thanks to a collective commitment by companies, communities, and volunteers who, since 2018, have gathered type 2, 4, and 5 plastics to be transformed into the raw material used for these sustainable and inclusive structures.
