Discover more about Unzué Park

Parque Unzué, an iconic natural landmark of Gualeguaychú, extends over 115 hectares along the Gualeguaychú River. This expansive park is not only a recreational haven but also a place steeped in local history. The park's origins trace back to the Unzué family, who donated the land to the municipality with the vision of creating a recreational space for the community. The donation occurred in 1920, but it wasn't until the construction of the bridge in 1930 that the park truly began to flourish. Before the bridge, accessing the area was difficult, limiting its development. The bridge, with its components brought from Europe, was a crucial step in connecting the park to the city. Today, Unzué Park offers a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy picnics, explore walking trails, and appreciate the diverse ecosystem. The park's lagoon adds to its scenic charm, making it a perfect spot for families, couples, and nature enthusiasts. It is a testament to the Unzué family's legacy and their contribution to the city's identity.
