Parque El Ejido is a public park located along Avenue Patria in the Itchimbía neighborhood, in the Old Centre part of Quito, Ecuador.

[8] Finally, in 1922, the North Ejido officially became a recreational green space for the city under the name of "Parque de Mayo" (May Park), since its tree planting and inauguration were part of the celebrations planned for the centenary of the Battle of Pichincha, which took place on 24 May 1822 and sealed the independence of present-day Ecuador.

[9] A report for the construction of the Quito Metro's El Ejido station also provided data on the existence of the following tree species: acacia, white brush, cedar, arupo, cypress, yalomán, eucalyptus, walnut, cedrillo, red pine, plantain, poplar, capulí, pyramidal willow and lime.

The park's design is typical of late XIX and early XX century European urbanism, with an asymmetrical layout of curved pathways that meet in an eccentric circle at the centre of the terrain, thus linking the interior of the green and landscaped area with the four road arteries that delimit its trapezoidal shape.

[12][13] The park also has internal spaces used by street artists to stage their performances,[6] as well as an open-air food court serving traditional Ecuadorian dishes, which has been in operation since the 1960s.
