Parque Rosendo Arnaiz

Who it is named after. Don Rosendo Arnaiz was one of the founding teachers of the Mexican Olympic Committee, and the park was created in his honour. It sits right at the exit of Metro San Antonio, which makes it one of the easiest parks in the city to stumble into.

What is inside. Paths, lawns and meeting space for the surrounding colonias —a neighbourhood park used for walking, exercise and sitting out the afternoon rather than a destination. Its value is the location: green space immediately outside a metro station in a dense, built-up part of the city.

Getting there. San Antonio station on metro Line 7 opens onto it. Mixcoac and the Plaza Insurgentes area are a short ride away, and the park works well as a pause between errands along Avenida Revolución.
