Not a particularly flashy park--it has the statues and a few playground pieces that look well…read moremaintained for kids to play on. The highlight on my visit here was the Zumba class taught by a flamboyant man who was absolutely the life of the party and had the class of ladies dancing with him.

We were actually in Parque Juarez El Llano. It's a beautiful park just outside the real central…read moreOaxaca. It has a fountain and so much life is happening in the park. When we were there there were people shining shoes, playing instruments, selling ice cream, and even doing bike tricks! It's such a cool park and awesome to see and be apart of the community culture in Oaxaca.

We've been trying to avoid this park recently, there's an unpleasant smell that hopefully will be…read moregone soon so people can enjoy visiting. There's 2 running tracks, 2 play areas for kids but I strongly recommend the wooden playground for the kids to enjoy including slides & swings, tons of space if you feel like having a family picnic or just taking a nap under the trees. If you like running or walking you have to come give this park a try. Sadly it's not a pet friendly place, I understand, you don't want to step or sit on unwanted pet's presents but it's always nice to have a place to exercise & have a good, fun day with your pet. Maybe there could be a pet friendly gated area?

This is a pretty park to stroll through in Central Oaxaca City. I enjoyed viewing the plant life…read more It's pretty small and we didn't stop to enjoy it, but I'm sure it's a great spot for residents and tourists looking for a rest stop!

After living in Canada is hard to enjoy parks here, but surprisingly we do enjoy Colosio Park…read moreeverytime we visit with our son. There's basketball & voleyball courts but be sure to bring your own balls. If you like running/walking there's a 600m race track, it has flat parts, uphill & downhill so you do get a good exercise (this is always the last part we visit with our son and we know for sure he'll be sleeping a couple minutes after we get in the car). Don't forget to bring your kids to the wooden forts, but be careful with one of the slides, it's in a weird position and I never let my son go there, it looks too dangerous (it's a yellow slide but it looks like it's missing a piece). A few times we've met other foreigners there with their families, so it's always nice to know you're not the only one not speaking spanish there. There's a soccer field, some equipment to exercise with your own body weight, bathrooms, a small place with books & toys for children, a little store to buy drinks & snacks, and they even have yoga & other classes for free. If you have pets, don't even think about bringing them, this is a no pet park.

Once in a while we like to bring our son here. The park itself is pretty new and the playground is…read morekept in really good condition. We don't come very often cause it's on a main road, so there's the pollution issue, specially considering a lot of buses drive by, and many of them don't have proper maintenance which makes it even worse. Another thing is like a lot of parks in Oaxaca is not dog friendly, we love our dog and like taking her on adventures with us so that's why we prefer going for walks to the mountain, clean, fresh air & 100% dog friendly. We do come at least once a month cause this place brings us beautiful memories, this park & Colosio is where our son started walking, plus he loves coming for a spin in the carrousel, which is open after 5pm.
