Entering this old-fashioned park is like stepping into a time warp. It has well-kept gardens, winding paths, several exhibits (notably birds and, unfortunately, a nearly uninhabited butterfly sanctuary) and, of course, iron benches. It's a nicely guarded oasis on Calzada Independencia, a short ride from downtown. The Concha Acustica (a concert shell) often comes alive Friday or Saturday with rhythms ranging from rock and blues to ska and reggae—performed by local and international acts. Open daily except Monday, 10 am-6:30 pm. M$5 adults, M$2 children. Calzada Independencia Sur 973, Guadalajara. Phone 33-3619-0328 or 33-3619-0340.
