Fundidora park, Industrial heritage park in Monterrey, Mexico.
Fundidora park is a sprawling public park built on the site of a former steelworks in Monterrey, Mexico, with paths, artificial lakes, and lawns. Restored blast furnaces, chimneys, and factory halls stand among grassy areas, creating a mix of industrial remains and open space for recreation.
The site housed Latin America's first steelworks from 1900, producing raw metal for over eight decades and shaping the region's economic growth. After operations ceased in 1986, the grounds opened to the public as a park in 1988.
Former steelworks grounds now serve as a gathering place where families from all neighborhoods walk among old factory structures. Preserved furnaces and workshop halls recall the era when thousands of workers melted metal here daily and Monterrey became a center of heavy industry.
The park is accessible on foot or by bicycle, with many flat paths suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. Weekends bring more visitors, while weekdays are quieter and better for a relaxed walk.
A restored blast furnace from 1968 now houses exhibition spaces where visitors can follow the smelting process step by step. Guided tours explain how the machinery worked and show how coal and iron ore turned into steel.
