The lagoon was originally created as a water retention basin to manage regional runoff and prevent flooding in the southern part of Puebla.
The park provides a habitat for various species of ducks, egrets, and other aquatic birds that utilize the lagoon during migration cycles.
The park's infrastructure includes a specialized filtration system designed to improve the oxygenation of the lagoon water.
The site covers approximately 12 hectares of land, making it one of the largest public parks in the southern urban sprawl of Puebla.
Centenario La Laguna de Chapulco Park is an urban ecological space centered around a large artificial lagoon in the southern sector of Puebla City. The park functions as a biological reservoir and recreational area for local bird species and migratory waterfowl. It features paved walking paths that circle the perimeter of the water, facilitating exercise and observation. The grounds contain multi-purpose sports courts and dedicated areas for outdoor activities. The site includes a children's playground and designated spaces for picnicking under mature vegetation. It serves as an essential green lung for the surrounding INFONAVIT San Jorge residential district. Management focuses on maintaining the water quality of the lagoon and preserving the surrounding landscaped gardens.
