Parque de Las Américas

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.

I liked the park in the night as it was peaceful and nice to walk.
Also we sat next to the fountains to talk for a while

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.

What a beautiful park. Twilight visit is just a heavenly feeling. The structures inside are really gorgeous. Many food stalls are there too. Nice place to walk around or just for a relaxed seating.

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.

Beautiful, spacious, well designed park in Garcia Generes neighborhood of Mérida. Very nice park for a peaceful evening walk with family, friends or dogs.
