Discover more about Reyes Park

Parque de los Reyes, or Reyes Park, is a 31-hectare urban park situated in the heart of Santiago, Chile. Inaugurated in 1992 by then-President Patricio Aylwin, the park commemorates the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America and honors the Spanish monarchs who supported Christopher Columbus's voyages. Before its transformation, the area was a railway yard connecting Yungay and Mapocho stations, later becoming an illegal landfill. The park's creation revitalized this space, turning it into a green oasis for the city. Reyes Park connects the Mapocho neighborhood with the communes of Quinta Normal, Renca, and Independencia, making it a central point of interest in the Chilean capital. The park offers a wide array of activities. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the skatepark, baby soccer fields, and a natural grass soccer field. The National Sports Institute also provides activities like dance, aerobox, and gymnastics. For those seeking relaxation, the Laguna del Parque de Los Reyes offers a tranquil escape. Cultural activities thrive here, with the Youth and Children's Orchestras Foundation of Chile, the Balmaceda Arte Joven Cultural Center, and various exhibitions enriching the park's atmosphere. The Perrera Arte Cultural Experimental Center, located in a former municipal kennel, adds a unique artistic touch. Reyes Park is part of Santiago's integrated park system, which includes Parque Forestal and Parque Fluvial Padre Renato Poblete. It stretches along the south bank of the Mapocho River, bordered by Presidente Balmaceda Avenue, Estación Mapocho Cultural Center, and Quinta Normal.
