What people are saying

Aug 2017

The park is actually a paved plaza. There is a water feature that is popular with the children. There are a ton of vendors on the street side of the park as well as a food court. There are benches as well as fixed lounges for sunbathing. Nice place to people watch.

“Great People-Watching”

Aug 2017

Here is a wonderful place to rest your weary feet and recharge while enjoying the spectacle of people being people. This public space is located between the university and the planetarium near the Universidad metro station, Jardin Botanica, and Explora. If you have small kids, they will enjoy playing in the fountain.

Not what I expected

Nov 2014

It's a random park, we even passed through without knowing that was the place, the only interesting thing was a small part of "pies descalzos" to take some pics and that was it.

Good place for a nice walk

Nov 2016

This place is great for an afternoon walk. And now that the December lighting will be there, it is a must go destination for a great time. Sometimes they place orchestras or play movies on Friday nights.
