Parque Hundido, Urban park in Benito Juárez district, Mexico City, Mexico.
Parque Hundido is an urban park in Benito Juárez featuring multiple levels connected by pathways that create distinct zones throughout the space. The park contains numerous trees, benches, and open areas suitable for various activities.
The location operated as the Ladrillera Nochebuena brick-making facility from the mid-19th century until the 1930s, when it underwent transformation into a public park. This shift from industrial production to recreational space reflected changing urban needs.
The park displays over fifty replicas of pre-Hispanic sculptures arranged along six themed walkways representing different Mexican civilizations such as the Maya, Olmec, and Zapotec. Visitors encounter these artworks while strolling and can learn about the artistic traditions of these ancient cultures.
The park is accessible via public transportation and provides facilities including restrooms, children's playgrounds, and off-leash dog areas along its walking trails. Multiple levels mean some areas require stairs, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
A Japanese technology floral clock stands at the park's center near Plaza Dolores del Río, keeping time through carefully arranged plants and flowers. This unusual feature merges functional timekeeping with living botanical elements.
