Juarez Park

Beautiful green gardens, water features and sporting facilities make this urban green space a wonderful place to relax or work out. Enjoy the great outdoors at Juarez Park, an inviting city park with French-style gardens, water fountains, sculptures, monuments and sports and play areas. Come to relax away from the crowds, get a workout on the exercise equipment and picnic in shaded, leafy green surroundings. Visit this large green space along the banks of the Laja River. It was created at the beginning of the 20th century and is named after Pablo Juarez Garcia, who served as president of Mexico for five terms during the 19th century.

Stroll or jog along paths lined by trees and lush vegetation native to the region, such as walnut trees and chirimoyo. Study the sculptures and monuments, watch a game of basketball in the courts, work out on the public exercise equipment and then relax on a shaded bench. The park features a children’s playground with climbing structures, swings and slides. Enjoy a picnic in one of the designated areas. Alternatively, if you are hungry, walk to Taco Corner, located at the end of one of the roads that leads to the park. This is a well-known spot for street food, where vendors prepare tacos, carnitas and other types of sizzling snacks from their mobile kitchens.
