The Nezahualcoyotl District of Mexico City.  21 Million People.

That appears to be some kind of greenspace or park in the upper center of the picture.  Can you imagine how busy that place would be on a Sunday afternoon?

That is the Parque de Pueblo.  It's a park and a zoo.

It must get crowded.  According to Wikipedia, it's about 21 acres in size.  Not very large considering the surrounding population,  NY Central Park is 843 acres.

Yes, this is just a local park for that district.

 

Mexico City has has a large urban park similar to Central Park, that dates back to the time of the Aztecs, called Chapultepec.  There are major Museums, a zoo, Zoo municipal auditorium, etc. I would say it is about double the size of Central Park.
