history

The park was built on a site that was previously part of Rancho Panzacola and was donated by engineer Miguel Ángel de Quevedo (1862-1946).

In the 1930s, the then Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río (1895–1970) declared the area a national park and founded Mexico's first tree nursery.

Part of the park is reserved for tree nurseries and floriculture. The rest of the park area is available to the public.
