Morelos Park

Morelos Park is a space with deep historical roots that have accompanied the growth of Guadalajara since the vireinal era. What today is a point of family and recreational encounter, was once a forest of alamos that bordered the ancient channel of the river San Juan de Dios, connecting with the city through various bridges. During the colonial period, this forest was part of the natural landscape surrounding the Kingdom of New Galicia. With the passage of time and after the Mexican Revolution, the state government undertook a transformation to make this area a safer and more conducive place for coexistence, giving life to the "Paseo de la Alameda." The current identity of the park was marked when a monument was erected in its center in honor of José María Morelos and Pavón, an insurgent hero of independence, giving a definitive name to the site and marking the beginning of the emblematic Calzada de los Insurgentes. Today, Morelos Park is much more than an urban garden. It preserves traditions such as classic flavors, which have become an infallible experience for those who visit it. Its mix of history, popular culture and open spaces makes it a reference point in Guadalajara's daily life.
