This park is definitely maintained better than most parks in the city. What you won't find are…read moremany of those puestos that sell food and Nick nacks. It's clean and every time that I've walked thru here there are always maintenance people cleaning and fixing things. To here are a few improvements that could be made in my opinion. For example, the concrete ben he's could use a good powerwash cleaning. Also the mand-made ponds appear like they haven't been maintained in some time, as there is a lot of algae growth going on in there. Today when I rode thru there were a lot of families, and even roller blade lessons for kids!

I didn't get to explore as much or stay as long as I wanted, but everything I did see was beautiful and really enjoyable. You can rent pedal boats and ride around the lake, or just walk around and take it all in. There's also a library overlooking the pond area that's really nice to stop by. Overall, it's a great place to spend the day, and I'd definitely go back to explore more.

Bosque de Chapultepec spans 2,000 acres and is one of the largest parks in Mexico and even the…read moreworld. This place is a mix of historical landmarks, parks, and museums all in one area. This area contains the Chapultepec Castle which used to be the imperial palace and presidential residence. It also houses the Museo Nacional de Antropologia which is a historical museum of the country. It also contains the Chapultepec Zoo which is a popular and free kids attraction. We first walked through one area where we saw souvenir stalls selling trinkets like magnets and monkey hats. We then saw the lake and bridge. Then we walked to the castle base. Then we walked over to the museum to enter. Throughout the area you'll see street food and street stalls, performers, and walking paths. There's also a lake where you can rent paddle boats. If nothing else there are lots of trees so you can relax in the shade. If you're coming to Mexico City this will most likely be one of the stops you visit, and depending on what you like you could spend all day here.

The building is well maintained, and the rooms are filled with historical displays, artwork, and furnishings that give you a glimpse into Mexico's history. It can get crowded, especially on the weekends, so going earlier in the day can make the visit stress free.

They have a small greenhouse and a large area under the fruit trees where you can sit on a blanket (people were picnicking there), as well as benches under the thicker trees in the shade on the other side of the garden. The entrance I came in through was on the bosque castle side, and I went out the exit on the other side where the museum of modern art is. I was able to walk down that way easily to get to Polanco. I was a solo traveler and I love gardens so I had a very lovely time walking through and looking at the plants here.

My husband and I walked through the park a few weeks ago when we were in Condesa for a few hours, and it is a nice place to stretch your legs if you're out and about in Condesa!

The good: This park is centrally located in the city…read more There's a dog park and also a children's playground. The playground had many trees and was nicely shaded which made playing much easier. There were many climbing structures including a dragon. There are smaller kids' structures as well as ones for bigger kids. The bad: The bathroom was closed for cleaning when I tried to use it. The dirt gets the toddler's shoes and clothes dusty and messy. The interesting: I saw lots of Girl Scouts there. I also saw a rat in the bush. They had food carts and vendors that sold balloons and kids toys too.

The panda was lonely and inside a dark room. It was hard to look into the dark glass and we could faintly see her silhouette. A lot of exhibits were already closed for the day so we didn't get too see much. The zoo was free so it was a nicely walk of fresh air for us. Worth checking out!

They have many restaurants here, for breakfast and lunch spots as well as dessert spots! Parking is available both on streets going in/out of the immediate park vicinity and there is paid underground parking where we park. This is a good spot for exercise; I've come running here 3 separate times, there are also bike paths, a kids jungle gym and a skate park! Honestly the park feels very safe and has beautiful views of the buildings nearby.

Pretty cool park! As someone who's from the US, Parque La Mexicana has some terrific features that…read moreI wished US parks would have. Loved the size, urban views, cleanliness, and features which I'll explain later. It is located in the outer edges of southwest CDMX, so could be a little far depending on where you're located. La Mexicana is clean and modern, with epic views of the tall and often shiny sprawling urban skyscrapers of office building and condos that CDMX has to offer. It's big, but not uncomfortably big - you could easily walk around most of the park and yet not feel cramped. Like many areas of CDMX, it's paid parking - we found a dirt lot that was 25 pesos/hr (seemed to be prorated). We didn't bother driving around to see if there was free parking nearby. FYI - there are some restrooms near the Petco (bring some change as it costs as well). I didn't see much litter and folks seemed great about picking up their dog poop. Came here on a weekend (during COVID) and the park had a comfortable amount of people - not overly crowded or eerily quiet. The walking trails are nicely paved - this is a relief for someone whose ankles have grown fatigued walking the uneven sidewalks of CDMX. The cool features of this park that I don't normally see in parks is that they have a neat strip of restaurants inside as well as a Petco. Forgot to bring Buddy's tennis ball or need to pick up some treats for Daisy? You're in luck. Being able to grab some grub inside the park is a huge perk - no need to do a separate run for food to picnic at the park when it's already there. Hungry while working out? Just hop on over to the food area. While I didn't venture in as I wasn't hungry, these seemed to be legit restaurants. Saw Pielogy (pizza), a poke joint, and El Moro (churros) to name a few. Not your typical rickety park stand with questionable hot dogs and stale fries. Since eating-in isn't an option (COVID), I saw quite a few people chilling on the grass and grubbing. Note that the grass is relatively flat and dry during this time of year...in case your butt prefers padding. I didn't see a lot of benches or tables (if any tables at all), so bring a blanket/chairs if ya like. There are also these steel cube framed structures in some areas of the park. While the tops seem to be slitted so not completely solid, it may provide some shade if you're looking to sit on the grass. There are also hooks attached to the frames in case you want to hang a hammock or tie Fido down. I'd love to come back and do an evening walk and see the urban sprawl lit up like an electric grid. Overall, it's a terrific park if you're looking for a place to walk, job, bring Fido, bike, picnic, or just to hang out.
