Discover more about Independencia. Park

Parque de la Independencia (Independence Park) is a sprawling green oasis in the heart of Rosario, Argentina. Designed by renowned landscape architect Charles Thays and opened in 1902, the park was created to commemorate the centennial of Argentina's independence. Covering 126 hectares (approximately 311 acres), it offers a diverse range of attractions and activities for visitors of all ages. The park is divided into sections inspired by the immigrant communities that shaped Rosario: a French Garden, a British sector (housing the Newell's Old Boys stadium and horse racing tracks), a Spanish sector with the Rosedal (rose garden), and an Italian sector with a Garibaldi statue. Key features include a scenic lake where visitors can enjoy paddle boat rides, the Children's Garden with amusement and educational facilities, and several museums such as the City Museum, the Juan B. Castagnino Municipal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Dr. Julio Marc Provincial Historical Museum. Sports enthusiasts can find venues for horse racing, skating, and soccer. The park also hosts the annual Gardener's Calendar, a floral display with the date spelled out in flowers. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a family outing, or a cultural experience, Independencia Park provides a refreshing escape within the bustling city of Rosario.
