Parque La Alameda

Breaking up the New Town's sea of concrete and glass is this welcome splash of greenery, containing the Quito Observatory and a small boating lake. A few blocks further northeast the streets give way to another large park, Parque El Ejido, across from the Museo Nacional, making this area a decent picnicking spot.
