The area

Address
Neighborhood: Palermo
Best known as the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Palermo is divided into different quarters, each with its own unique identity. The high-end quarter is Palermo Chico, characterized by magnificent mansions, regal avenues, and exclusive apartment buildings, and home to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA), a favorite amongst locals. The largest park in the city, the Bosques de Palermo, is Palermo's most famous landmark and a popular destination for nature walks, picnics, rollerblading, and cycling. The scene becomes much trendier in Palermo Soho, a hip area known for its cool cafés and unique design stores, filled with shoppers on weekends; and Palermo Hollywood, renowned for the numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs, which make it the preferred spot for nights out and special occasions.

We visited the Buenos Aires Ecopark on our last walk through the city before leaving that night. In short, it's a good idea, to learn from the mistakes of the old Buenos Aires zoo and turn the exhibition into a little free wildlife park in the city centre where animals are actually cared for in a space that suits their needs.

It is enjoyable to walk around the park itself, and see what is left today as well as the different animals wandering around the grass, paths, and ponds of the park. However, it is slightly depressing when walking past some of the old cages to see what the miserable conditions there used to be like.

The main bad part was that at around 16:20 a guard came past and started kicking everyone out. We were heading to the north side of the park anyway, and were almost at the exit, so we asked the guard if we could pass and go that way. No, he told us, the north exit was already closed. So we walked back through the whole park, around the corner, and the entire length of the park again on the street to get to the north side - only to find the north exit open and plenty of people still inside by the time we got there.

We are not sure why the guard lied to us, and it meant that we lost time and ended up missing other sights that were closing later because of it, such as the Japanese Garden So, if you plan on visiting, make sure that you give yourself time to get through the park before they start to close and reverse your direction - even if you are right by the exit you need already.

We wanted to visit the Japanese Gardens here before we left Buenos Aires, but when we came by at around 17:00 we found them closed and locked. Why? The sun wasn't even close to being down yet. Walking through botanical gardens is usually an evening activity. They are also ticketed, which was disappointing to hear as parks and gardens are generally one thing people can usually rely on to be free to visit. But if they are kicking people out so early, why would anyone pay for the ticket? This is what brings the review down to 3 from 5. It is weird that they are the same listing.

This is a massive park that extends into neighboring parks with lots of different sections. It is rife with historic monuments and paths around plazas, fountains, sculptures, rose gardens, picnic areas, small lagoons, patios, a lake, bosques (mini forests), a planetarium, a Japanese Garden, museums, a botanical garden, an ecopark (zoo), an outdoor theater, a boat pier, a skatepark, a horse riding school, sports fields, golf courses, etc, etc, etc. It just goes on and on. You could spend an entire day there and still not see all of it.

My friend and I stopped by to see some monuments and sculptures and barely even scratched the surface after walking for an hour. Do be aware that the little lagoons are very swampy and mosquitos abound. Wear repellant if you plan to spend some time there.

If you like parks, this area definitely has a lot to see. It is very large and wide-open, so if you are seeking a more scenic, shady park setting, you are better off strolling the smaller parks and plazas near the Recoleta Cemetery.

The Paseo is closed on Mondays at least in March.
Just thought a word of warning from someone who missed it because of poor timing might br helpful.
Open 8 to 5 all year round, until 8pm in what they call ''summer''.

The park has recently been renovated by the City Government, and it simply looks fantastic. All new paths, decks, gym stations, rest areas.. Coming to Buenos Aires and not visiting the parks is just like to going to NY and skip Central Park...
It is good for all ages, and many weekends there are free activities for kids, live bands, and else. These parks are just great for exercising, walking around, family picnics or just stay "away" from the city for a while.

With more than 18000 rosebushes along 8,4 acres, this rose garden created in 1914 has sheltered thousands or romantic stories for "porteños" and visitors as well as great moments shared with friends in their youth and elder days. Beautifully maintained throughout the years, it is a place to enjoy not only nature and pure air but also art, as it has several artworks: statues and busts of famous international artists are spread allover the place. Leaving aside technical aspects, it is a peaceful, more than agreable place, with fantastic views, a nice lake to rent a boat and row (with your hands as traditionally or your legs on pedals), an Hellenic bridge, an Andalusian patio donated by the city of Seville (Spain) and the wonderful smell of roses. Do not miss it, take a sunny afternoon for reward your soul and spirit.

On a hot sunny day, it was refreshing to walk mostly in the shaded areas of this very beautiful large park, home to historic monuments, lots of trees and flowered areas, special area of roses, large green grassy areas, nice organized walkways, and more. There are many nice benches to sit on, waterways and ponds, geese floating on the water. In the background, I could hear the noise of ever moving traffic.

Taking up a "pretty spacious" ground in the Palermo area of the city (an area where there are also plenty of other green spaces besides this park), this is a park definitely one for relaxation & recreation with big trees for plenty of shades, wide paved paths where there are these multi-cycles with covers above available to ride around (also saw a few vehicles parked alongside those paths but not sure if vehicles are allowed to be driven around on those paths) & a sizeable lake (actually a "fairly huge" one) where there are paddle boats available for leisure in the water. But above all else, the "best part" of this park I would say is its rose garden which is just "fairly breathtaking" with 5 or 6 different colors of roses covering a nice-sized ground area which is bordered on three sides by water (the big lake as just mentioned), and it was especially great to look at them from like the raised platforms on two ends for a "comprehensive view" of the garden (although I'll have to say that it's a "somewhat smaller" type of roses in this garden and it would have been a better view looking from above if the roses here were as big as the ones I'd seen before elsewhere namely at Lady Norwood Rose Garden in Wellington, New Zealand).

And nearby, at just about a 10-minute walk from this park by turning right onto Avenida Pres. Figueroa Alcorta after leaving here is Jardin Japones (a "quite impressive" Japanese garden where there's a lovely lake to walk around with a beautiful torii gate & three bridges to walk over the water in the lake), then going further along for just about another 5 minutes and you'll be at MALBA (a big "contemporary art" museum with some great works of Latin American artists).

More commonly known as the Bosques de Palermo in Spanish.

Curiosity: The vast place where this green space is located belonged to Juan Manuel de Rosas (a controversial masn of our National History). His lands were expropriated and they became public property when he was defeated in the Battle of Caseros.

Inaugurated by President Avellaneda and designed by the famous architect and naturalist Carlos Thays who designed several parks in Argentina.

It has areas of free access and others of restricted use.

What to visit: the Rose Garden (not to be missed), the Japanese Garden (a gem), the Museum of Plastic Arts "Eduardo Sívori", the Planetarium "Galileo Galilei" (recently renovated), the Hippodrome of Palermo, its 29 squares, its 4 lakes (The Regatas Lake, the Rosedal Lake, the Planetario and Victoria Ocampo).

Comparable to Central Park in New York!

We were staying in the centre, and we struggled to find somewhere to just relax and enjoy the sunshine. A 10 minute taxi ride from the Obilisco, we really enjoyed this park. Men frequently come round with ‘helados’ to sell, families have picnics and people walk their dogs. Really relaxing.

Had no idea I'd end up spending hours and hours here absorbed by the vibrant red and blooming white roses! Hundreds and thousands of roses! You feel like Alice in Wonderland and can't help but sing in your head: "We're painting the roses red, we're painting the roses red..." from the Disney movie.
