Really pretty lake, came to walk around on a weekend afternoon when the weather was nice and not…read moretoo hot. Quite a lot of people sitting around in the shade and hanging out, having picnics, very chill. Shade here and there so it wasn't too sunny, good spot to run, bike, and walk!

I lived in Almagro 20 years ago, one block away from this…read morepark. Just visited it for the first time in two decades. No longer is it the same--the center was usually a soccer playground (and now it is covered with rails and flowers everywhere). More play things for children now than before. It does look nicer than it did before. I do miss how it looked before. Melancholy. A good park to walk your dog, or sit and read a book. They still have the tables to play chess (I think). And it does feel a bit relaxing to be there (a bit away from the busy Av. Corrientes). -------------------------------------------------- Viví en Almagro hace 20 años, a una cuadra de Este parque Lo visité por primera vez en dos décadas. Ya no es lo mismo: el centro solía ser un campo de fútbol (y ahora está cubierto de rieles y flores por todas partes). Más juegos para niños ahora que antes. Se ve mejor que antes. Extraño cómo se veía antes. Melancolía. Un buen parque para pasear a su perro, o sentarse y leer un libro. Todavía tienen las mesas para jugar ajedrez (creo). Y se siente un poco relajante estar allí (un poco lejos de la concurrida Av. Corrientes).

When I first came to Buenos Aires in 2001 I stayed in Almagro and lived very close to plaza Almagro…read more- and went back this trip to see the neighborhood. There is something about Almagro that feels very comfortable - I think because it feels very much like a community neighborhood it reminds me of Queens. Any I think it's great as a foreigner to come to this park and people watch the locals with their children walking around and on the carousel. A lot of people walk their dogs here as well. Almagro feels very real and inclusive of the daily life of buenos aires.
