It was declared a National Park on 28 September 1936, on what was previously known as the Rancho Teochtíhuitl and the Barranca de los Manantiales.
Most wildlife species that inhabit the park were brought and acclimatized to it, as a result of the donations from SEMARNAT and other animal welfare institutions.
The park's main characteristic are ponds, fed by a few springs flowing from the foothills of the Sierra del Ajusco.
