Rafael López Aliaga assumed the position of mayor of Lima for the 2023-2026 term, and one of his first projects was the opening of an artificial beach in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho, located in Club Zonal Wiracocha. However, three months after its inauguration, this work appears to be in poor condition.

Through a report from the program '24 horas', the current state of the artificial beach was made known, and the neighbors presented their complaints, as the water is green and accompanied by larvae. It is important to note that these types of situations pose a high health risk.
After learning this news, social media users also spoke out on Twitter, denouncing the lack of maintenance of this work by López Aliaga. On the other hand, there were also those who did not hesitate to comment jokingly on the poor condition of the artificial beach, a promise made by the mayor during his 2022 electoral campaign.
Users comment on the state of the artificial beach
"Obviously, if the pool is closed because it's not in season, the color of the water will change. Before the start of the new season, the color is restored and it is cleaned using chemicals. That happens with all pools," "It's difficult to maintain a pool, investing more will be one with sand at the edge, a terrible idea by López," "And fixing that will be more money that the municipality will have to pay. A win-win situation," they pointed out.
On the other hand, according to information from Grupo La República, after seeing the presence of the press at the first artificial beach in San Juan de Lurigancho, two workers began cleaning the area, and as a result, the water returned to its original color.
