The bust of Pedro Domingo Murillo and statue of Paul P. Harris are installed in the park.[3]

The Monument to Christopher Columbus was expected to be placed in the park in 2022, after being removed in 2020 from its original spot at Paseo de la Reforma.[4] Subsequently, it was decided that the statue would be relocated to the National Museum of the Viceroyalty, in Tepotzotlán, State of Mexico.[5]
