Viveros de Coyoacán on Postcard

"Viveros is just a few blocks away from Coyoacán’s main square. This huge wooded area is a popular spot for morning runners. Its main circuit is well-maintained and stretches for a mile and a half with several other trails crossing the forest in all directions. The area serves as a nursery of trees and is an important part of the reforestation efforts in Mexico City." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"Viveros de Coyoacán, Coyoacán by Leolab. With over 100 years of existence, Viveros de Coyoacán is a National Park administered by the Federal Government through the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources, where plant production is carried out and the main objective is donating trees to reforest the entire metropolitan area of Mexico City. The various tree species available at the Viveros de Coyoacán, are given to the various sectors that make up our society: public, private, local, federal, school, organizations, among others. All with the aim of further contributing to the conservation of our environment. Currently the Viveros de Coyoacán is one of the great lungs of Mexico City. It also has a 2.5km track that’s ideal for you if you wish to disconnect from the noisy rhythm of the city. If you feel like buying beautiful plants and flowers, this is the right place to do it."

A really nice park in the area of Coyoacan. A full gravel jogging trail along with walking trails cross crossing the park. The park is fenced in with a limited number of entries with security stations. So feels pretty safe overall

Nice forest, lots of runners. FYI the security guards don’t let you in with any food whatsoever, even if you have no intention of eating it in the park and it’s just in your bag. They were aggressive about it too which wasn’t nice

Really wonderful and well-kept park. No drinks or food allowed. It is gates and guarded by police. This seems to work wonders because the park was immaculate, a true forest vibe. Tons of people exercising and running. Great respite for my lungs while visiting the city.

If you are a serious runner, this may be the best place in Mexico City. The soft unpaved, flat paths go on for miles and they are mostly shaded. Dogs don't seem to be allowed. The scenery is beautiful. There are police stationed at every entrance so it seems very safe. Of course you still have to deal with the altitude but there's nothing to be done about that. There is also a very interesting flower/ plant mart in the northeast corner of the park that has fantastic offerings.

This is one of the few lungs of Mexico City! This is the remaining Coyocan forest. There is a track of 1.3 miles or 2.1 kilometers in length for joggers and runners. In between, there are several diagonal aisles for no runners to walk and calmy pass by. There are some other activities for those looking for relaxation or oriental disciplines by group subscriptions. It is nice, well maintained, and it is clean for México city standards. There are workers all the time planting new trees and working in the gardens. I recommend this place for jogging and running. However. If you are not used to the high altitude of 1.39 miles or 2.24 kilometers above sea level, then you are going to struggle to breathe and more trouble due to the smog. So, be careful.

This is the greenest and quietest park I’ve found so far in CDMX. Located in such a beautiful neighborhood as well

Magnificent place to take a time out and just walk around the grounds and behind the woods... a place for nature lovers... amazed to see such a peaceful place amidst busy Mexico City. Prepare for long walk along the perimeter. Take some peanuts for the cute little, lovely and most friendly, squirrels who would follow you on the woods! Don't forget to enjoy this beautiful place when you get a chance.
