Traveler reviews
Michal B.
★★★★★3 years agoNice for an evening stroll, also enjoyed during the day by children with few splash pads. Well looked after place with many benches and fountains to enjoy greenery in the city. May not be in the Center of the tourist attractions but a nice place to discover and enjoy. Keep an eye on supermarkets near by where you can purchase picnic foods for cheaper and then enjoy at the park! Way to go Madrid for keeping the parks well looked after!
David Firth
★★★★★2 years agoLove this park! Clean and safe. Great paths right asking the river. Loyes of places for children to play. Several bars for a sit down, drink, and bite to eat.
