Parque Lira, Public park in Tacubaya district, Mexico City
Parque Lira is a public park in the Tacubaya district with walking paths, green spaces, playgrounds, and sports facilities set within a historic urban environment. The grounds feature multiple areas designed to accommodate different types of recreation and outdoor enjoyment.
The property belonged to textile industrialist Vicente Lira Mora until 1937, when President Lazaro Cardenas converted the private estate into public grounds. This transformation opened the location to residents across the city.
The space holds a World Peace Bell that Japan donated in 1990, matching one displayed at the United Nations in New York.
The park is easily accessible through the Metrobus Parque Lira station and has areas specifically designed for children and dog walking. These different zones allow visitors to find the activity that matches their needs.
The entrance features a neoclassical arch designed by Italian architect Francesco Saverio Cavallari between 1857 and 1864. This architectural detail often goes unnoticed by visitors passing through the gates.
