    Cuenca’s most popular urban park. The grounds are very well manicured: the lawns mowed smooth, blooming flower beds, trees with good canopies provide shade and are also blooming.😎😎😎 The focal point is man made lake fed by a tributary from the adjacent Rio Tomebamba. The level of the lake control by a loch. 👏👏👏Lots of birds. There’s an attractive clock as well, and several children’s playgrounds. Nice shelters are strategically built around the park.

    Parque Paraíso just east of the historic center of Cuenca, and situated between the two beautiful central rivers of the city, the Tomebamba and the Yanuncay, has a little bit of something for everybody. It has a lovely lake with ducks and other waterfowl for children and adults alike, playground equipment, beautiful old trees, broad grassy areas, exercise equipment for children and adults alike, and much much more. Expansive enough to “stretch out” and lose yourself in its peacefulness, it is nonetheless not so wild that one, other than a small child, would get lost. A great addition, if not a cornerstone to the city’s extensive system of beautifully maintained parks.

    This is a large park with a walking/running trail and beautiful green spaces and scenery. And you can duck over to Wayra Plaza for some shopping after your walk in the park!

    This is one of the biggest parks in Cuenca. It is really very nice to walk along the river, with many exercise areas, natural walk ways and raised wooden walking trails. There are also areas to learn about traffic and the rules, but due to Covid a lot of the activities in the park are closed for now. The park feels save and IS safe! Enjoy!

    (Translated by Google) Very dirty. Pet owners should be more polite and carry poop covers. We have nowhere to sit (Original) Muy sucio. Los dueños de las mascotas deben ser más educados y llevar fundas para los excrementos. No tenemos donde sentarnos

  • 5/5 Intentional T. 2 years ago on Google • 175 reviews
    One of Cuenca's biggest and best parks, we love to go here to walk or jog. There is a beautiful forested area where the two rivers meet, a lake with paddle boats, playgrounds, stationary exercise equipment, several walking paths, Bici Cuenca bike station, futbal pitch, and even a miniature "safety town" area for kids to learn traffic rules. We sometimes see morning bailoterapia/zumba classes, too. It is truly impressive and we have seen a lot of parks! This place is well used and feels safe for families or solo visitors.

    Gorgeous park to walk or bike around and have a relaxed picnic. Love the outer trail that takes you into the lush green surroundings, next to the gushing river and massive trees overhead. There are well maintained bathrooms as well 🤩

    Beautiful serene, peaceful place! Quite a large park the biggest in Quenca if not mistaken. Pet friendly and eco conscious with a program where you can take veggie scraps and yard waste in return for free compost- win-win!

    One of Cuenca's most relaxing parks. Between the convergence of the Yanunkay and Tomebamba rivers, this park had a serene lake, plenty of benches to sit, a dog park, playground for the kids, sport fields and places to eat. Highly recommended for families, lovers and tourists.

    Largest park in the city of Cuenca is a sprawling, peaceful place along the water, with a small lake/pond and lots of happy Cuencanos.

  • 4/5 Awilda N. 1 year ago on Google
    Big, beautiful park with lots of open space for playing. The play grounds are simple, but varied and spread out. There are also plenty of food and toy vendors and entertainment so you will not need to bring much.

    This is absolutely beautiful park. If you are looking for a stroll in an exceptional location this is it. The walk along the river and through forest of Eucalyptus is clearly worth the time.

    Beautiful park to walk and meet new people. The area is completely safe. There’s a big mall nearby and the park is easy to get to by taxi. I recommend walking the bridges. Some parts are out so be careful where you step. Though maintenance workers are diligently making improvements.
