One of the larger parks in Quito, El Ejido is popular for its extensive playgrounds and courts for ecuavoli (three-person volleyball). Theater groups regularly hold impromptu performances here, and there are often open-air art exhibitions on Saturday. You can also usually find a handicraft market in progress on weekends. But as pleasant as it is by day, Parque El Ejido should be avoided once the sun goes down.
