Parque Lincoln
Polanco, Mexico
Parque Lincoln is a city park in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City. It was the first park built for the Polanco colonia when it opened in 1938, and is named after US President Abraham Lincoln, whose statue — a replica of Augustus Saint-Gaudens's Abraham Lincoln: The Man — was donated by the Johnson administration in the mid-1960s. The park also has a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. Parque Lincoln is bounded by Emilio Castelar to the north and Luis G. Urbina to the south, with Julio Verne crossing through it. Its main features include a clock tower (1937), two reflecting pools, an open-air theater named for soprano Ángela Peralta, and an aviary that once gave the park its earlier nickname, "Parque del Palomar."
