Parque Alfonso Esparza Oteo is a community-oriented urban park located in the Nápoles neighborhood of Mexico City. The park features dedicated basketball and sports courts that serve as a focal point for local athletic activity. Families utilize the playground facilities, which are situated amidst mature trees providing natural canopy. The park functions as a neighborhood transit point and a quiet respite from the dense surrounding architecture of Benito Juárez. It is characterized by its rectangular layout and paved walkways that allow for pedestrian access through the interior of the city block. Recent urban maintenance has preserved its status as a central green space for residents of the Nápoles district.
