Situated alongside the Mapocho River, this beautiful public park is the perfect setting for a…read morepicnic, pick-up soccer game, run, concert in the park, bike ride...and the list goes on.
What makes this park stand out from the rest is that it is an open-air museum where you can enjoy over 30 different sculptures from both local Chilean artists as well as international artists.
I have trained with my soccer team here various times and it is a great strip to run around, with no large dips or holes plus it has good lighting at night.
There is also a playground not only for children, but for adults with exercise equipment.
In the summer they host the annual Jazz in the Park where you can enjoy the worlds best Jazz artists for free while enjoying one of Santiago's finest public parks (you can also pay for seats...but it is more fun on the other side of the Mapocho).
They also hold events throughout the year (although the majority take place during the summer) and are mostly open to the public.
They also have a small room to show exhibits throughout the year. The exhibits are constantly changing, and usually show the work of young Chilean artists.
It is super easy to get here. If you don't want to run from where you are, I recommend taking the metro to Pedro de Valdivia and walking the 3 blocks to the park.
