Discover more about Independencia. Park

Parque de la Independencia (Independence Park) is Rosario's largest and most historically significant park, designed by French landscape architect Charles Thays to commemorate the centennial of Argentina's independence. Inaugurated in 1902, the 126-hectare park offers a blend of natural beauty, recreational activities, and cultural landmarks. The park is divided into sections inspired by the immigrant communities that shaped Rosario: a French Garden, a British sector (home to the Newell's Old Boys stadium and horse racing tracks), a Spanish sector with the Rosedal rose garden, and an Italian sector. Key attractions include the picturesque lake with paddle boats and the Dancing Waters show, the Children's Garden, and museums like the City Museum, the Julio Marc Provincial History Museum, and the Juan B. Castagnino Municipal Museum of Fine Arts. Visitors can explore the Rosedal (Rose Garden) with its diverse rose species, sculptures, and fountains, or visit the Calendar, where gardeners arrange flowers to display the date daily. The park also houses sports venues, including the Jorge Newbery Municipal Stadium and the Patinódromo Municipal. Whether you're interested in history, nature, sports, or simply relaxing in a beautiful setting, Independencia Park provides a rich and varied experience.
