Parque de Las Américas - 97070 Mérida

Beautiful place to see the culture of Mérida. Not very crowded most times and we got great pictures. There’s a library and convenience store nearby and of course street vendors.

Such a beautiful place! I loved the energy, the people! It's so beautiful at night.

The only Mayan-Art Deco park. Beautiful divided in four sections: Fountain, library, acoustic shell theater and a kids section. A great place for Tai chi, jogging or just walking. Also a great place for marquesitas and tacos. Beautiful and relaxing.

Lots to do at this park! Starting at 5pm on Fridays there are inflatables (for a fee per child), a stage with people dancing, and lots of street food options. No bathrooms nearby though.

Traditional and beautiful park in Mérida

This is one of the most beautiful parks in Merida. It is in four sections based on activities. One section has the huge Maya monolith and water feature where you can recognize the face of the rain god Chaac and the serpent god Kulkulkan. Then catty corner across the street there is the section with am acoustic shell for open air theatre and a lovely long esplanade. Then there is the section with the library and cultural central in the shape of a Mayan hut. On either side of the door are carvings of a deer and of a pheasant. There's a large area for relaxing. The day we went a bride and groom were posing for their photographer. Throughout the park there are monoliths each inscribed with a name of 1 of the countries of the America's. Finally, there is a section of the park for playing sports and/or exercising. There are food carts to grab some street food, a tienda to grab a drink, and washrooms. Across the street is a church with many beautiful stained glass windows.

Nice place to spend the day

Definitely worth a visit. In the evening there are good carts that sell local snacks like churros, marquesitas, elotes, papas y salchichas, tostinachos, etc. Currently decorated spectacularly for Xmas. Avoid weekend evenings if you don't want to get stuck in a crowd. Weekday nights are usually mellow. Food stalls and activities open around 6pm. Great for an outdoor workout early. Lots of places to do pushups and squats. Trees for shade are a plus.
