Alameda Central

The oldest park in Mexico City, it gets its name from the poplar (álamo) trees first planted on it, now replaced by willow and ash trees. So as to highlight the city's beauty and to create a space intended exclusively for walking, its layout was enhanced with sculptures, fountains and monuments. After a lengthy remodelling, the park was reopened in late 2012 and can once more be enjoyed by pedestrians. Source: www.zonaturistica.com
