  • An amazing variety of mature trees, plenty of seating, paths for strolling and large grassy areas for picnics make this a well utilized park. There were always a lot of people enjoying it...

  • A green oasis at edge of city and by river. Well maintained paths, lawns, gardens and trees. A few sculptures, plenty of seating. Lack of toilet facilities. Most pleasant to stroll through.

  • We stayed in a hotel adjacent to this parque. It always seems to have plenty of locals enjoying the walks and the grassy places to lie down for a nap. On a Saturday there was continuous free entertainment for children. There are plenty of benches for sitting and dogs are welcome.
  • Beautiful park! With beautiful trees! (Some of them are tragically dying, though). Excellent spot for dates, walking, reading, and bringing your pet. Beware that is super dangerous during the night.
  • Nice park that runs alongside the fine arts museum, and close to Lastarria barrio. You see lots of people hanging out, walking their dogs, napping and picnicking.
  • Really pretty. Lovely place to chill. There was even a guy giving amazing massages for 5 lukas
  • I loved it! This park is for you relax and enjoy the weather. Many things to look at... you can come here and read a book, have lunch with the friends, run, walk or sociolize with new faces. Its green, its nice and clean. Lots of college students come here to read or hang out after school.
