Parque Los Berros, Public park in Xalapa Municipality, Mexico.
Parque Los Berros is a public park in Xalapa with walking paths, picnic areas, playgrounds, exercise equipment, and several ponds. The water surfaces serve as refuges for local animals and create resting spaces within the green landscape.
Construction of the park began in the 1880s under the governance of Juan de la Luz Enríquez. Major expansions were completed in 1911 and shaped the space into its current form.
A statue of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla stands at the Diego Leño street entrance, accompanied by busts of poet Salvador Díaz Mirón and poet Josefa Murillo. These monuments shape the character of the place and recall important figures in Xalapa's history.
The park lies southeast of Xalapa's centre, near the Xalapeño Stadium. Its main entrance is on Diego Leño street, where the Hidalgo statue stands; the Díaz Mirón and Murillo busts are also inside. The grounds are flat and easy to walk, with seating along the paths.
The name comes from watercress plants that grow naturally in the park's meadows and marshes. This plant gave the place its name and connects history to the natural surroundings.
