About
The Parque de las Esculturas (English, Sculpture Park) is an ecotourism park and open-air museum located in the city of Cuautitlán Izcalli, State of Mexico. It is one of the three essential parks that make up Izcalli, the other two being the Parque Central de Cuautitlán Izcalli and Parque de la Familia, which is located within the same area. In 1973, it became the site where the cornerstone was laid following the official establishment of the Municipality of Cuautitlán Izcalli. Working with sculptor Charlotte Yazbek for its design and promotion, in 1976, seventeen of her works were donated for permanent display, thus giving it the name Parque de las Esculturas. After one of the sculptures was cut down in June 2024, the park was left with only sixteen of the seventeen that were there.
