“Parque Papagayo - A Welcome Oasis”

Parque Papagayo

5/10 found this review helpful

I last visited Parque Papagayo during April, 2006 and very much enjoyed the walk through the park, time spent amongst the families, the green grass and nice lagoons where people were in small boats enjoying themselves. The park is a welcome oasis, a surprise to many people who think Acapulco's just all about beaches. The park is conveniently located almost in the middle of Acapulco along Costera Miguel Aleman - across the street from the beach referred to as "Playa Papagayo."

There are various attractions within the park, some of which are not well maintained, though - mostly rides for small children. The lack of the attractions at the moment doesn't seem to have deterred the large number of families from visiting, though. In the mornings people can be found jogging, in the afternoon people cut-through the park as they make their way from the beach area to the residential/business area above the park near Avenida Cuauhtemoc.

I think most visitors will be favorabily impressed - as I am - with the niceness and tranquility of Parque Papagayo.

A ruin, may have been nice in its hey day, now a little scary. Not worth going to see at all.

Very sad to see this park go to waste, I used to live in acapulco 10 years ago and I remember going to the park for a good place to relax and entertain. I went back last year May 2003, and it was so awful, all the artificial lakes were polluted with drainage, garbage ( tires, plastic containers, beer bottles etc. ) i saw several dead fish as well as fish stuck in all the plastic containers, there was a dead dog as well as dead birds. The grounds were dirty and smelled of sewer. The poor animals that were kept for display were in terrible condition as if they were sick. There was no lush gardens and grass as it once were, furthermore the outside theater which at one time had some wonderful plays and concerts, it is now littered with human excrement and garbage. My son and I had to get out as quick as possible before we got sick. I would not encourage anyone to visit this park, but to maybe write to the Tourism bureau of Acapulco and hopefully they would try to revitalize this once beautiful park.
