Parque Bicentenario

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

Parque Bicentenario is a large urban park with running trails, sports fields, and training facilities built on the grounds of a former airport. The space offers multiple areas for jogging, training, and various recreational activities.

The park occupies the site of Quito's former airport, bounded by Amazonas, Galo Plaza, Real Audiencia and del Maestro avenues. The Metropolitan Council named it Bicentenario by ordinance C408 on 11 July 2012, for the bicentenary of the First Cry of Independence. It opened to the public on 27 April 2013, when 299,544 people visited in the first two days.

The park serves as a gathering place for the community, hosting concerts and large events that draw people from across the city. Visitors experience shared moments of celebration and entertainment in this central outdoor space.

The grounds feature wide, level paths suitable for different fitness levels, with plenty of space to rest and relax throughout. Visitors should come in the morning or late afternoon when weather is more comfortable and the park is less crowded.

The old airport's landing strip survives as the park's main axis: temporary sports courts were laid out directly on the former runway, and the concrete is being removed gradually from the edges toward the centre, with the whole park planned as green space by 2030. Six hectares of Air Base No. 1, including the presidential heliport, stayed outside the park.
