Parque Hidalgo | 501 Durán Arquitectos

Urban parks are considered multifunctional spaces that meet different objectives within cities: recreational, aesthetic, environmental, and even educational, but that maintain their users as a central element. The park is the lung of the city, thanks to its green areas, but it is also and, above all, the place where we all come together, where important dynamics of social coexistence and shared recreation are generated.

The Miguel Hidalgo Park, in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, had been increasingly abandoned, given its unattractive structural characteristics, so our recovery work consisted of restoring its primary vocation at the service of the people.

The work included active and passive recreation areas, spaces where you can spend time, either sitting or walking, an intervention strategy in the landscaping area, and a space for outdoor performances. The objective is to convert it into a meeting point.
