The park was originally inaugurated in 1935 to commemorate the centennial of the death of Alexander Pushkin.
It underwent a significant renovation in 2011 to modernize the pavement, lighting, and general urban infrastructure.
The park contains a bronze statue of Alexander Pushkin that was a gift from the Soviet Union to the people of Mexico.
The site was formerly part of the estate known as the 'Potrero de Romita' before the urbanization of Roma Norte.
Jardín Pushkin serves as a primary public gathering space in the Roma Norte neighborhood, functioning as a hub for local social activity. The park features a prominent circular concrete concourse that serves as the focal point for community dance, rollerskating, and leisure sports. It serves as a green buffer between the high-traffic Avenida Cuauhtémoc and the surrounding residential blocks. The park grounds contain various public art installations, including busts and monuments honoring Russian literary figure Alexander Pushkin. It is characterized by mature tree coverage that provides substantial shade for benches and pedestrian walkways. The space functions as an informal outdoor auditorium for neighborhood dance groups and fitness practitioners. It maintains a distinct identity as a neighborhood-centric park rather than a tourist-focused monument. The infrastructure includes accessible paved paths and seating areas distributed throughout the perimeter.

Visit during the early evening if you wish to observe the local dance groups practicing on the central concourse.
Keep personal belongings secured, as the park is a high-traffic urban space near a major avenue.
Do not leave bags unattended on benches while using the skating areas.
Maintain respectful volume levels if using speakers for dance practice; share the concourse space with skaters and cyclists.
