The Lake Texcoco Ecological Park, officially called Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco (PELT),[1] is a project of the government of Mexico which consists of an urban park in the State of Mexico. It is part of the larger metropolitan area in the Valley of Mexico, around Mexico City.[2]
The planned area for the park is 14,000 ha (35,000 acres),[3] of which 4,800 ha (12,000 acres) will be public spaces.[2] The government has announced that the park will open of 30 April 2024.[3][4] The park was designated after the cancelling of an airport in the same location.
The park has been internationally praised as both a major ecological restoration project, and having great potential for climate adaptation for Mexico City.[5][6]
