El Enrejado
El Enrejado is a small, leafy public park on Sta. Eulalia 379 in the Víctor Larco Herrera district of Trujillo, on Peru's northern La Libertad coast. Open around the clock and rated by locals as a calm place to stroll, play ball or sit out the heat with family, it is the kind of everyday neighbourhood green that gives a coastal Peruvian city its rhythm. The name — literally "the grille" or "the lattice" — nods to the metal fencing that has long enclosed many of Trujillo's parks, fitted by neighbourhoods over the years as a security and anti-littering measure. Today El Enrejado reads less as a gated space than as a welcoming open lawn: a sports court, plenty of planting and benches under the shade, the simple pleasures of a local recreation ground.
