Formerly a vast steel-factory complex, this once-blighted industrial zone has been transformed into a huge urban park. Designers cleverly retained the iconic smoke stacks and industrial relics to give a surreal and at times apocalyptic feel, but also a vibe very much in keeping with Monterrey’s heritage. You can rent bikes, jog the trails, take in a film or browse the photography on display here. Bring the kids. And above all, visit the Horno3 museum, the undoubted star of the show.
Three other disemboweled redbrick factories comprise the Centro de las Artes , an arts center with high-class rotating exhibitions that also screens independent/foreign films.
The metro stops within a 10-minute walk of the park, but the most enjoyable way to get here is to walk along Paseo Santa Lucía from Plaza 400 Años.
