Parque de los Cinco Continentes (Park of the Five Continents)

Made up of species from five continents


The “Parque de los Cinco Continentes” was inaugurated in 2003.

With an area of 18,214 m2, it occupies the space of disused train tracks that had been hidden by undergrowth. Before this great amount of work, the city was divided by the railtracks and many neighbourhoods were isolated.

Layout of the park

With the construction of this green area, which occupies the central part of the Juan Carlos I Avenue, this space created an island for recreation, walking and amusement along one of the two main avenues that divide the city. It has several catering establishments and children’s play areas.

Its name is due to the fact that species from the five continents grow in the Park.
