Named after Prof. Edmond Szekely, cofounder of Rancho La Puerta, Parque del Profesor is a 28-acre sanctuary at the heart of Fundación La Puerta — one of the few accessible chaparral ecosystems within Tecate’s urban limits, providing a natural environment for families to connect for more than 40 years.
The park features interpretive trails, outdoor classrooms, native plant gardens, and community spaces that host environmental workshops, youth leadership activities, volunteer sessions, and cultural celebrations. In 2026, this legacy of community stewardship was honored nationally with Mexico’s Premio al Mérito Ecológico.
