Parque Agua Azul
Built between 1946 and 1952, Agua Azul is a public park administered by the Metropolitan Agency of Urban Forests of the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara (AMBU). Initially used as a place of recreation for the families of Guadalajara, who were allowed to ride in carriages or on horseback through its interior streets or enjoy a boat ride. The park was used in different ways, from a place for the fun and relaxation of those who visited it, even with activities of a social nature.
Since in 1890 public laundries were installed inside, which were very useful for the lower strata of society. Later it was transformed into a Zoological Park and it hosted the October Festivities for many years. As of 1992 it was reopened as the Center for Environmental Culture.
