    Can't get enough of this place. We don't have a park like this in CDMX. Palm trees, lawns, paths and a circuit for jogging or walking with a stopwatch and distance markings. A refuge in what is an otherwise rather uninteresting town.

    Best park in town. Great for running early morning on their 2 km track

    It is a nice place to walk around, but apart from some notifications by the trees it is more a park than a real botanical garden. But it is amazing to watch so much birds, squirrels and plants in the middle of a city. If I were to live in Los Mochis I would spend a lot of my time there, just reading a book on one of the many benches.

    This park in the middle of Los Mochis is the pride of the city! With its winding path that goes through regional trees, a palm grove, many plants and fauna, and along small canals that leads to a large pond with small islands that are inhabited by, among ducks and geese; large iguanas sunbathing,along with hundreds of turtles swimming around, and sunning on the shores and rocks. Featured in the middle is a waterfall like fountain that you can walk behind. But don't spend all your time watching the birds, turtles and iguanas you've only made it through the first quarter of the park. Behind the impressive front gates that are opened up so the public can see the large ground fountain, shooting water straight up with children running around in it. Just past the fountain is a huge playground with many places for kids to crawl on, including two swinging bridges, tower in the middle. Clean public restrooms nearby. And last of all acres and acres of grassy fields and picnic areas. The park is staffed by constant workers cleaning up, planting trees, cutting grass and monitoring the area for safety. A little info: the park was once the massive grounds surrounding the citys founder's Mansion/Hacienda, many parts of it are still standing all around. The city and park were founded by an American family named Benjamin Francis Johnston and these are his botanical gardens.

    Beautiful park for walking, running, bicycles, or just sit and watch the ducks, iguanas, and birds. Free admission. Several play areas for the kids. Wonderful place to spend a few hours.

    Peace place, eagles always flying in the sky. Good to relax, take a walk and a snap in the afternoon.

    Great story of the American Johnston family who contributed to the development of the area to facilitate his sugar cane company and built the first part of the train El chepe

    What a beautiful park in the centre of a busy city. Immediately upon entering this park you leave behind a lot of the noise of traffic and it was lovely and peaceful. The park has hundreds of species of trees in their arboretum. There is an 8 km walking track frequently used by walkers and joggers. A lovely place to stroll or exercise. There are even stations of exercise equipment anyone can use through out the park. There is a place to get food and/or drinks. No cost to enter. Open during the day.

    This place is where the city started. There’s a recreation area, and also has 3 ways to get in, two with parking places and one just by walking.
