Fundidora Park is a public park located east of Monterrey, Mexico, inside the former Monterrey Foundry property with an area of 120 hectares (1.2 km2).
[edit] History
The Monterrey Foundry (Monterrey Steel Foundry Company) operated from 1900 until its bankruptcy in 1986. Two years later, after having been legally declared financially insolvent, the "Fideicomiso Fundidora" (Fundidora Escrow) was installed to administer the Park.
[edit] Multifaceted location
The park contains several industrial buildings from the old Foundry making the park a famous Archeological Industrial Site in Mexico full of beauty and ambiance. It also contains extensive walking tracks, an artificial lake, playgrounds for children and a 2.1 miles (3.4 km) permanent road course which is popular with joggers, bicyclists and inline skaters. Fundidora Park also includes a CINTERMEX which is a convention center, a hotel, an ice rink, Sesame Street Park, the Monterrey Arena, an auditorium, Centro de las Artes CONARTE museum, Cineteca Nuevo Leon and other smaller buildings with cultural venues.
