Cancun Park Has Four New Attractions

Cancun Park now has four new attractions: the Parkour Garden, Paseo México Desconocido, Museo de Desechos No Deshechos and the Quintana Roo History Hall. In addition, a plaque was placed to celebrate that it is one of the five Ecological Parks in the Benito Juárez municipality. With these new areas, the idea is to attract not only local families, but also tourists from around the world.

The park already has 18 gardens to explore, including one designed to be inclusive, on 283 hectares of which 85% is destined for conservation and 15% for infrastructure works.

It is worth remembering that in the 1970s, the area that is now Cancun Park was a sascabera, that is, an area from which limestone was extracted to build the foundations of the hotel zone of Cancun. Since 1980, it has served as a sanitary landfill for the city and in 2008 it was integrated into the Nichupté Mangroves Flora and Fauna Protection Area. Construction of the park began in 2017 and it was inaugurated in 2023.
