Traveler reviews
Tom Hankin
★★★★★6 months agoA really great park since it was reformed a few years ago. It has lovely gardens and children play areas that are suitable for kids of all ages. I regularly go with my 2 year old and she loves going there most of all the parks in the area. I also go to the park regularly to run on the 1.2km track at night time which is free to everyone and goes around the perimeter of the park, you just have to be careful if you go at busy periods because of kids and dogs that may wander onto the running track. The park also has a lot of sports facilities that are available such as beach volleyball, football pitches, padel, basketball courts and even for field hockey.

★★★★★7 years agoThis is a great family park inside the Chamberi neighbourhood! There is some great area for kids and you cna grab a few ice creams and aome food for the youngsters. Also if you are from Madrid, you might get access to the sports complex just across the street. Weekends are the best to check out this amazing venue.
