Huge park in the middle of the city. Highly recommended passing by when you visit Quito. There are many attractions like an airplane, courts (football, tennis, etc...). Beautiful view of the buildings. Very fancy area. Loved it!
-
The park is the largest in Quito. Located in the north side of town, it seems that despite being surrounded by at least the shopping malls, the city preserved this green Oasis for it's people. There is a big lagoon neat the southern access, passed the roller skate park. There you can rent pedal boats for little cash. The earlier you visit the better, less public and more silence. The city's botanical garden is not expensive and quite well maintained. We'll recommended.

Anazing Park with great facilities to workout, walk, play, rest and picnics. Busy at weekends due to its great popularity. Definitely worth a visit or two
-
It's a great park, it has lots of volleyball courts, soccer fields, tennis courts, paths to walk, run and ride bicycles. It also has a lagun with pedal boats, a track to run, a track to ride mountain bikes and green areas. The park has about five parking lots - it's complete. An excellent place to exercise and/or people watch.
-
Nice atmosphere. Ideal for walking alone or with friends and family. You can also play football, basketball, volleyball, do rowing, cycling or horse riding.
