Alameda Central, Public park in Downtown Mexico City, Mexico
Alameda Central spans multiple blocks with sculptures, fountains, and paved pathways lined by tall trees creating a network of outdoor spaces.
The Spanish colonial government established this park in 1592, making it the first public park in the Americas, on a former Aztec marketplace site.
The Hemicycle to Juárez, a white marble monument within the park, stands as a tribute to President Benito Juárez and Mexican liberal reforms.
Metro stations Bellas Artes and Hidalgo provide direct access to the park, which opens daily from sunrise to sunset without entrance fees.
During celebrations in 1821, after Mexican Independence, President Santa Anna ordered the park fountains to flow with alcohol instead of water.
