Parque Ambiental Bicentenario is one of the Toluca area's bigger green escapes, built around paths, lawns, water, and restored environmental space. It is useful for travelers who want a break from traffic and museums without going all the way into the mountains.
The park is especially good for a slow local afternoon: walking, cycling, watching families on weekends, and seeing how Toluca uses its open space. It is not a wilderness experience, but it gives the city a welcome stretch of air.
