We've been trying to avoid this park recently, there's an unpleasant smell that hopefully will be…read moregone soon so people can enjoy visiting. There's 2 running tracks, 2 play areas for kids but I strongly recommend the wooden playground for the kids to enjoy including slides & swings, tons of space if you feel like having a family picnic or just taking a nap under the trees. If you like running or walking you have to come give this park a try. Sadly it's not a pet friendly place, I understand, you don't want to step or sit on unwanted pet's presents but it's always nice to have a place to exercise & have a good, fun day with your pet. Maybe there could be a pet friendly gated area?

It's a very small and calm park. It's in the center of the town so you frequently see people pass…read moreby. Mostly locals come and have a break or just enjoy the shade of this Park. As a tourist, you can help but notice the culture.

Once in a while we like to bring our son here. The park itself is pretty new and the playground is…read morekept in really good condition. We don't come very often cause it's on a main road, so there's the pollution issue, specially considering a lot of buses drive by, and many of them don't have proper maintenance which makes it even worse. Another thing is like a lot of parks in Oaxaca is not dog friendly, we love our dog and like taking her on adventures with us so that's why we prefer going for walks to the mountain, clean, fresh air & 100% dog friendly. We do come at least once a month cause this place brings us beautiful memories, this park & Colosio is where our son started walking, plus he loves coming for a spin in the carrousel, which is open after 5pm.

If you come to Oaxaca for holidays, you can't miss the Noche de Rabanos. It's an annual event…read morededicated to the carving of oversized radishes that has been celebrated since the late 1800's on Dec. 23. Back in the day farmers would carve the radishes (which were introduced by the Spanish) as a way to attract customers attention during the Christmas market which as you may guess happened on Dec. 23. Over the years, the farmers/artists need more & more space to display their creations, and are not only limited to radishes, but now there's also pieces of art made with corn husks & dried flowers. Believe me, you might feel a bit anxious by looking at the endless line up, considering it's only available for a few hours (after all we're dealing with fresh produce), but it's worth it, you can't miss this event! In case you were wondering what happens to the radishes after the event? sadly they have to be thrown away, since they use chemicals to make them grow to a supersize, they can't be eaten or used for compost (unless you want inorganic compost that will kill your plants)
