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.

I love this park. There is a great running track. I can always purchase a yummy fruit cup. Or i love visiting the new all natural smoothie bar that just opened near the soccer fields.

Nice place for practice sports as bike, jogging, walking with your pets. The perimeter is almost 4 kms. Inside is an artificial lake with room for pedal bikes. It is a little snakes zoo, gardening, kids party building, dog's play sets

Love this park. It's Quito's Central Park. I cross it every day on my bike. It was revamped nicely by the current city administration..it's top notch

This is one of the main parks in the northern part of Quito. It has been recently renovated and has a good variety of sports courts and a race track to walk or run.
