In the 40s, toward Catia, behind the Miguel Antonio Caro School (by Luis Malaussena), was the Caracas-La Guaira railway line and the José Pérez Colmenares football stadium. This land was occupied by the Catia Prison after demoli-tions for street improvement –between the 50s and the 60s– to give way to the Avenida Sucre and an amazing viaduct, the Caracas-La Guaira freeway and the La Planicie tunnels. All these elements limit and shape the 46 hectares that, in 1979, were decreed as Park of the West by presidential mandate, with the name Jovito Villalba Park and later Alí Primera Park. In 1983 only 14 ha are opened in the first stage, under a master plan designed by architect Gregory White, with a band shell, playground, pond, amphitheater and cafeteria amidst landscaped gardens. In 1997, after Pope John Paúl II’s visit to Caracas, the foundations of the prison were demolished and the Jacobo Borges Museum cultural project on park grounds gains strength. In 1998, Jacobo Borges created a huge installation for the site called «The sky came down». The museum was intended for young artists and local cultural movement. In fact, a major project was developed with persons deprived of their liberty called «The Trojan Horse». Currently, the park is awaiting its expansion and organized communities are struggling to stop being invaded by other uses, such as the police university and dance and art schools in the same place as the museum, which has been emptied of its art collection to be used as a recreational area for the people of Catia.
