El Llano

Two lovely playgrounds in this park for children, both busy, shaded and well maintained.

Best to go at sunset/night and have a good time in Oaxaca. Great for kids

Nice relaxing park. Families playing. Fountain (no water haha) was cool. Oaxaca has a drought and water shortage.

Beautiful local park. Events on major holidays. Safe for walking at night

One of the biggest parks in the city. It used to house the zoo but now is a place where locals rollerblade, street vendors sell food and people relax

A nice and not-so-touristy park with a lovely local vibe. Some good street food here, too! Plus free WiFi (not always fast, but better than nothing)

El Llano Park is favored by local families. I sat on a foldable wooden bench purchased for comfort on Av Benito Juarez at the El Llano Park. I was told to get there early, around 2:30 pm to grab the best view of the Guelaguetza Parade. A stranger, Karla sat near me with an umbrella. I heard her say that her cell phone lacked energy. I offered to take the photos and send them to her, but I needed her umbrella protection. My phone was stored in a waterproof bag with a strap crossed around my shoulder. WhatsApp allowed me to easily communicate by text and send her the photos. Vhuntermassage LLC

Nice park to walk around, huge corridors

Not a particularly flashy park--it has the statues and a few playground pieces that look well maintained for kids to play on. The highlight on my visit here was the Zumba class taught by a flamboyant man who was absolutely the life of the party and had the class of ladies dancing with him.

We were actually in Parque Juarez El Llano. It's a beautiful park just outside the real central Oaxaca. It has a fountain and so much life is happening in the park. When we were there there were people shining shoes, playing instruments, selling ice cream, and even doing bike tricks! It's such a cool park and awesome to see and be apart of the community culture in Oaxaca.
