Bicentennial Park, Urban park in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico

Bicentennial Park covers 55 hectares (136 acres) in western Mexico City and divides into five zones dedicated to wind, water, nature, sun, and earth. An artificial lake and experimental growing areas complement the layout.

The Azcapotzalco refinery of Pemex closed in 1991 after serious pollution problems. The land lay abandoned for over a decade until Pemex ceded it to the federal government in 2007, when environmental remediation began with public universities and international advisors. Landscape architect Mario Schjetnan led the redesign, and President Felipe Calderón inaugurated the park on November 7, 2010.

The name marks the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence, inaugurated on November 7, 2010, by President Felipe Calderón. The grounds are divided into five gardens named Wind, Water, Nature, Sun, and Earth, and an experimental chinampa recalls the floating gardens once common in the Valley of Mexico.

Access runs daily from 7 AM to 6 PM via Refineria metro station on line 7 with no admission charge. Paths connect all themed sections and allow circuits according to interest.

A chinampa on the grounds demonstrates the ancient floating garden technique on a smaller scale. This method once supplied much of the capital's food production.
