As we walked back to our hotel from Pasaje de la Revolucion, we stumbled upon Parque de la Madre or Parque de Maternidad. Despite the late hour, the mother-children statue was lite beautifully and fully so much so it drew you into the tranquil park.
You could easily see the details of the statue; a toddler looks lovingly down at his infant sibling who lies on their mother’s lap. My understanding is that the statue, honoring mothers, is a reproduction of one in Paris by André Lenoir. It sets a wonderful tone for the park.
At night and during the day Parque de la Madre is frequented by many. It offers free Wi-Fi, as do most of Merida’s parks. The park was spotlessly clean and one morning we actually saw a worker sweeping the park with an old fashioned straw broom.
