Parque Rodolfo Landeros, Public park in Aguascalientes City, Mexico
Parque Rodolfo Landeros is a nature reserve and park spanning 88 hectares in Aguascalientes, with 70 hectares of green spaces containing numerous trees, sports courts, and an artificial lake. The grounds feature different facilities including playgrounds and recreation areas for various age groups.
The land transformed from an airport site into a public recreational space through federal and state support. It opened to the public in May 1989, becoming a new leisure and nature center for the city.
The park's Mundo de CRI-CRI zone honours Mexican children's songwriter Francisco Gabilondo Soler, known as Cri-Cri. Statues there depict characters from his songs, among them El ratón vaquero, los tres cochinitos, la patita, la princesa caramelo and los palomos. The Teatro Aguascalientes stands on the same block as the park, not inside it.
The park has paths for walking and jogging, and visitors can rent bicycles or use pedal boats on the lake. The various sports facilities and playgrounds are spread throughout the grounds and easy to reach on foot.
Ciudad Pequeña, in the upper part of the park, is a scale replica of Aguascalientes holding models of the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, the Palacio de Gobierno and the Teatro Aguascalientes. Nearby stands the crooked cabin of Juan Chávez, a legendary local bandit, with replicas and stories of his life.
