La Mexicana Park, Urban park in Cuajimalpa, Mexico.
Description
La Mexicana is an urban park in Cuajimalpa offering paths for cycling and skating, play areas for children, two lakes, and rest zones with hammocks. The grounds also include an amphitheater and a gourmet terrace for events.
History
The site once held sand mines until residents campaigned for a park and reached an agreement with city authorities in 2016. The transformation from former industrial land took several years before opening.
Culture
The name "La Mexicana" honors the country's identity and the community that fought for this green space. Local families gather near the water on weekends while fitness groups use the open areas for morning routines.
Practical
Entry is possible every day from early morning to late evening, with parking, restrooms, and Wi-Fi available. Most paths suit strollers and wheelchairs, though some sections around the lakes have natural shorelines.
Did you know?
A rainwater collection system supplies the green areas through an underground cistern and infiltration trenches. This infrastructure stores and distributes rainfall from the wet season for the rest of the year.
