Friday 20th May we visited the beautiful
Parque la Paloma in Benalmádena. We entered the Park through the impressive gates topped with glass and metal shapes on Avineda Federico GarcÃa Lorca.
As we strolled around the well maintained pathways we discovered the various treasures of the Park.
The large lake, although the water was a bit green its was home to ducks, fish and turtles. Another water feature is the fountain which was a cool off and drinking spot for more ducks and pigeons.
We were surprised when rabbits scampered across the pathways in front of us.
There was a circular area with a Roman/Italian plaza look with numerous columns arranged around it. Appears to be s popular spot for wedding photographs, judging by the amount of confetti lying about.
An other surprise was to see the three large head sculptures lying on the grass.
The cactus garden was a delightful place to include in our walkabout.
The Park is full of bushes and varieties of colourful trees but they were all eclipsed by the beautiful Jacaranda trees which were in full bloom with their purple/blue flowers on display.
There is do much more to the Park, it has a restaurant, toilets, children's play area, exercise facilities, dog areas, jogging/running areas and more. Tired of running/walking there are plenty of benches to sit on relax, enjoy the tranquility and just soak up the atmosphere.
Admission to this wonderful place is free.

We discovered this lovely park five years ago while on holiday and could not wait to return this time. This is a well established park, with lots of facilities, and is a natural home to some wonderful wildlife. If you have kids they will love it as you stumble upon so many animals that roam freely around the park, there are terrapins in the central lake too.
This is an oasis of relaxation, free to enter and so close to the tourist heart of Benalmadena. The park is easy to navigate and you can spend as much or as little time as you like here. Recommended

Wow what a beautiful park which is full of things to keep the little ones entertained. Our 5 year old loved the play park and us adults appreciated the cafe near to it so we could have a refreshment. Park has several toilets within it.
Cactus garden was great with a lot of variety, some were huge.
There are also animals within the park including goat, chicken and wild cats, bunnies and guinea pigs.
Defo worth a look when staying in the area!

Very nice park with 3 different bars (and prices). You can take a walk around the lake (with ducks, swans,...) or visit the cactus garden which is amazing. I have never seen so many cactus plants in one place. Worth a visit (and it is free)

This park is beautiful. Its only a 10 minute walk from the beach front although it is uphill. It has a large pond with ducks and birds etc. Observation platforms, large green areas for family times/picnics etc. An assortment of animals, goats, free roaming chickens and Cockerells. A children's adventure play ground and a cafeteria. Large bronze or copper head sculptures. Such an interesting place away from the hustle and bustle of the town. A must see when visiting Benalmadena. Its up the road at the side of the Las Arenas Hotel although it does have a number of entrances so maybe alternative routes accessible

Good place to be out of the way, flaura and forna abount. Getting up close to the free roaming birds (parakeet, cockerels, hens, guinea fowl), rabbits, plus the water birds and terrapins at the lake. All can be seen as you wander around.

The park is a vast beautiful open space with plenty of benches to sit and admire the views. There are roosters and chickens roaming freely and even the odd rabbit. It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours and the cafe does nice refreshments

This is a nice park with a big lake and some animals (Swnas, rabbits, ducks, goats,...) and it also has a nice cactus garden where you can find a lot of different species (with name tab). Some cafetarias and childrens play areas make this a great park. Lots of parking space around the park

Lovely walk around the park, great to watch the chickens and parrots, lots of benches to sit and watch the world go by. plenty of Cafe's to stop at as well. The huge boot sale would keep you busy for ages, browsing all the stalls for bargains.

This is a council run park with a couple of cafes and plenty of toilets. Loads of benches to sit for a while and enjoy the lovely views, overlook the lake or just watch the world go by. A nice change from a seaside walk. Keep your eyes peeled to see the eclectic range of 'wildlife' in the park!

I'm just watching a video recorded, by someone in the park Feb 2021 - where have all the chickens gone? There were thousands when I visited in Jan 2020 but none I could see in this video. Have they been relocated due to Covid perhaps?

We are staying the the First Choice Holiday Village in May. How far is this park away? Is it walkable or would you have to get transport?
Thanks

Very Good bus service, between Malaga Fuengirola, runs right along the front. If you get the bus, get off in Benalmadena,at the windmill roundabout, couple of minutes walk up the hill, brings you into the bottom of the park. Fuengirolla market is worth a look on a Tuesday, same bus,opposite direction.You can also get the bus up to Mijas. Buses are flat fare, 1.7 euro, less if you get a discount card.
