Next to the Bellas Artes museum, it is a great place to take a walk, ride a bike, or just stay a moment for relaxing in a place full of trees, very calm, and next of important central neighborhoods

Nice park next to the River right in the heart of Santiago. Only downside is traffic noise but a nice stroll and the Fine Art Museum.

Had a lovely dinner. The food was beautiful and the staff were friendly. (Initially our waiter didn’t want to bring us a menu and directed us to a QR code - we couldn’t read the menus even with the English option) but later a different waiter gave us a menu. There wasn’t a lot of atmosphere sitting outside…

Wonderful food and very comfortable. It was hot but we sat outside on the top patio with the fans and cold water. It was fine.

This long narrow leisure park, during the warm afternoons, the lawn is packed with grass sunbathers, couples in love, and groups of besties catching up in their gossiping.
Children rejoy dipping in the big fountain at the far end of the park.
The cars crossing the lanes in its surroundings aren't enough to break the harmony of the place.
There are a plentiful number of benches to dwell.

Free public park to walk around. A small pond with swans. Can see the tallest (62 stories) building in entire South America. Nice to see couple dog houses for the stray dogs in the area.

Great park in the middle of the city. Super clean and way safer than I expected.

Nice vibe, art museum right there. Perfect area for those who appreciate the arts and culture.

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.

Peaceful place to relax and have fun with family and friends. Although it is in the middle of a very big and polluted city, you can go there and breathe the fresh air of this beautiful green space.

Really nice park in Santiago with a nice proximity to the Bellavista and the Vega market. There are two nice museums to visit and honestly it's a nice local spot with people just hanging out at any point of the day. Personally, I didn't love running through it because of streets breaking it up.

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.
