The appearance of strange coffins in a children's park in Havana caused a stir on social networks, where Cubans wondered if it was a terrifying joke and asked for explanations.

Internet user Beatriz Alonso said inFacebook that the new items of the recreational facility generated concern and asked the Marianao government to explain "what these half-buried coffins in the Children's Park at 100 and 35 mean."

He also said that from that place they erased all the cartoons that were painted on the walls, including Elpidio Valdés and other very Cuban characters.

Likewise, he asked about new "timbiriches" that were placed on the other side of the facility, and said that it was a shop of horrors.

To his surprise, a representative of the Government of Marianao responded immediately, as well as a private entrepreneur who claims to be the owner of the project to renovate the park, and even sent him a sketch of how it will look.

This clarifies that the park will be themed and will include the first scare house in the country, it will have climbing walls, zip lines, an ice cream parlor and reading areas.

"The park at 100 and 33 is in a restoration and construction process by the Olix SRL Group. Our company is dedicated to the design and construction of Theme and Adventure Parks and has been founded for several years," stated the businessmen in charge.

"This park will contain the first scare-themed house in our country, climbing walls, zip lines or canopies, an ice cream parlor, areas for reading, light gastronomy and an exhibition area for the finished products sold by our company," add the answer.

Last year another park, Jalisco Park in Vedado, wasreopened under private management with inflatable equipment and other spaces, whose access is prohibitively expensive for many Cuban families.
