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.

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.

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?

It's not much of a playground by American standards, but by Oaxaca standards it's a gem. The…read morebrightly colored fake grass is not very soft, but it's got a number of play structures, a jungle gym, some swings, and a bunch of adult outdoor exercise equipment. It also has bathrooms which seem to be open some of the time. During events at the adjacent Auditorio de Guelaguetza there will be vendors there selling water, snacks, nieves, and such things. Beware the grumpy guard who will chase any adults off the swings even if there are few kids in the park. There actually is a remarkably easy path to walk there from downtown Oaxaca, although it may not seem that way at first. Walk directly east on Calle Faustino G. Olivera towards 190 until you get to the inroad into the parking garage (which is generally roped off but easily passable on foot). Go up that inroad and you'll find another, smaller playground. Go under the tunnel and up that street, and to your left you'll find stairs to a pedestrian bridge over the otherwise pedestrian-unfriendly 190 (it's the same bridge that leads from the garage to the Auditorio). Cross that bridge, descend the stairs on the other side, and you're there. Buen juegando.

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.

There a big pond where you can see some fishes, there's also some machines for exercising (like the ones in parque colosio & other places and I can't forget to mention the kids playground, it has some metal structures but they could use some maintenance, they're not afar for kids anymore.
