The Arica y Parinacota region is undergoing various urban and recreational infrastructure developments. In July 2026, the municipality of Arica inaugurated the Plaza Gabriela Mistral, a project designed by the municipal planning secretariat (SECPLAN) to provide inclusive public space featuring playgrounds, shaded zones, and universal access.

Following this, the Ministry of Sport announced plans to expand regional sports facilities through the Special Development Plan for Extreme Zones (PEDZE). This initiative involves an agreement between the Ministry of Sport, the National Sports Institute (IND), and the Municipality of Arica to construct a new aquatic pavilion and a four-level multi-sport complex on land provided by the municipality.
