Parque México — Attraction in Mexico City

Of the amazing parks I've been too! Sad to say I didn't take my cell to track the last park I was in lewisville, Texas. Walking in from the street, there are bikes lined up for use. There's a electronic box to check in with ID and form of payment. The pathways set out almost seemed maze-liked.

There is a nice dog park, a cool fountain with a clock tower, nice benches with overhangs that would work as reading spots, and a large empty courtyard that works as a biking/skating area. Come by if you’re within 15 minutes walking distance. It’s decent but not...

I’ve loved this park since I first moved to Mexico City from my hometown, Veracruz. What first drew me in was the variety of dog breeds roaming around—it made every visit interesting. When I was finally able to bring my own pets with me, they loved it just as much.

Despite what some (mostly older) people say, the park doesn’t smell like dogs. However, it’s true that a few irresponsible owners don’t clean up after their pets, which is unfortunate. That said, times change, and public spaces evolve to accommodate different lifestyles.

After 12 years of living here, this park remains one of my favorite spots in the city and everyone can enjoy it too while being...
