Parque El Ejido in Quito is a vibrant urban park offering a mix of recreational activities, cultural experiences, and local crafts. It's generally accessible, with paved pathways, though some areas might have uneven surfaces. Visiting solo is safe and enjoyable, allowing for independent exploration, while guided tours can provide deeper insights into the park's history and cultural significance, especially regarding the weekend art market. There aren't specific seasonal restrictions, but the dry season (June-September) offers more predictable weather. Visiting is generally free, though purchasing crafts or food will incur costs; a typical visit lasts 2-4 hours. Be aware of your surroundings, especially on weekends when it's crowded, and bargain respectfully when buying from vendors.
