Summary: The Progresive Liberal Party and the local government of Santa Ana proposed a project to transform the Santa Ana Conservation Center into the Lorn Ross Urban Natural Park. However, congresswoman Pilar Cisneros, from the ruling party, is proposing to build a water park instead to generate jobs. The decision arises after an agreement with FundaZoo , tha manage the cede land to the state, ended.

Comment: The political issue is the decision of what to with the State-owned land that holds the conservation area. Stakeholders involved are two political parties, PLP and PSD, the central government, Santa Ana's municipality, the NGO FundaZoo, and the local community. At least two key concepts can be identified. Power as there's a political desicion to make about what to do with the area. And also, sovereignty, as the land is state-owned and only the government of Costa Rica, has the right to decide what to do with it.
