Parque Bicentenario, Urban recreational park in northern Quito, Ecuador.

The park spans 125 hectares with multi-use trails, sports fields, and CrossFit courts on the former Mariscal Sucre Airport grounds.

The Metropolitan Council designated this area as Parque Bicentenario in July 2012 to mark 200 years since Ecuador's First Cry of Independence.

The facility serves as a central location for community gatherings, hosting major concerts including Metallica performances in 2014 and 2016.

Visitors can access multiple running paths totaling 10 kilometers, with the main circuit extending approximately 5 kilometers around the perimeter.

The park retains elements of its aviation heritage, incorporating a 1960s airport building and former landing structures into its current design.
