Introduction
Parque Fundidora occupies the works of the former Monterrey steel company; when production stopped in 1986 the sheds and blast furnaces were not demolished but kept and converted into a city park. Rust-red Blast Furnace No. 3 is now the landmark, with a viewing platform up top; old workshops serve as galleries, theatres and museums, while rails, pipework and cranes run between the lawns. Connected to the Santa Lucía canal walk, the park is large enough for cycling and running and regularly hosts festivals and major exhibitions.
