Parque de la Bombilla, Urban park in San Ángel district, Mexico City, Mexico.

The park extends along Avenida Insurgentes Sur with large green spaces, walking paths, children's playgrounds, and a central decorative fountain.

The site marks the location of La Bombilla restaurant where President-elect Álvaro Obregón was assassinated in 1928 by José de León Toral.

An art deco monument designed by architect Enrique Aragón Echegaray stands at the park entrance, commemorating President Obregón's legacy.
