Shockingly beautiful Urban Park. Music and light show on a Saturday night in November. As beautiful…read moreat night as it is during the day. Workout at the public gym or let the kids play in the fantastic kids area. Mexico City never ceases to amaze with their beautiful public greens spaces.

I'm supposed that the city is finally doing something about this little patch of dirt that they…read morecall a park. I'm in no way belittling the parks here in the city, in fact this city has some of the most beautiful parks in the city, and they put a lot of effort in maintaining them. But this one is so small and it sits literally in the middle of a major intersection. I think perhaps 100 years ago before the construction of the major roadways downtown, that this probably was a wonderful park. Yes there are trees and some shade, but you would rarely find people going to this park as a destination. Unless you're into smoking various substances. Unfortunately that is what this park has become in the last couple of years. Today it appears that workers are shoveling through the mid and trash to hopefully plant nice flowers. Or better yet pave the entire thing with concrete so it's not just flattened mud.

Wow Parque Mexico really is impressive. This park is located very close to our Airbnb in Condesa so…read morewe walked in the park a few times this past week. My 2 most favorite things about is seeing so many dogs. As a dog lover (and also of one who recently just lost her little girl dog 2 months ago), it was so nice to see so many dogs because they always bring me so much joy when I see dogs. Most of the locals walking their dogs walked their pups off leash. And for the most part, their dogs were all very well behaved and always stayed close to their owners. But there were also some people who also walked their dogs on leash. The other thing that I loved the most about this park was that there are so many trees that really keep this park very nice and cool because of all the shade throughout this large park. It really does encourage people to come out and walk and do some exercise, which I really love. At this park were a few different playground areas and also a very large pond with ducks. There are also vendors selling items, food, etc throughout the park. There is also a restroom if you need to use it, which cost $5 MXN or $0.29 USD (it is common to pay to use the toilet in Mexico but be aware that it is common for there to be no toilet paper, sometimes no toilet seats.... yes the actual seat, and hand soap. But usually restaurants, grocery stores and museums do not charge to use their toilet). This park is surrounded with a lot of restaurants, coffee shops and apartment buildings. For the most part, it is a pretty kid friendly and dog friendly park that felt safe to visit the days and nights we came by to walk. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular.

The park has a great mix of open areas, walking paths, and shaded spots that makes it for a good…read morecasual stroll. It's also dog friendly, so you will see a lot of people enjoying the space with their pets.
