Parque de los Venados
This 25-acre park represents one of the best of Mexico City’s outdoor spaces. With more than 10,000 trees, a fountain, kids’ carnival rides and games, a dog park, and food trucks, it can make for a whole day of fun and people-watching. Weekdays see the park filled with dog-walkers, people exercising, and kids on carnival rides after school. Weekends turn into a full-on spectacle, packed with people lining its Talavera-tiled benches and snacking at the many different food stands. Though popular, it maintains its neighborhood friendly vibe and provides a lot of shade and oxygen to an otherwise not heavily treed zone.
