Parque Forestal Periurbano Bosquesur, Botanical garden and park in Community of Madrid, Spain.
Parque Forestal Periurbano Bosquesur stretches along the Culebro stream and connects the municipalities of Leganés, Fuenlabrada, Getafe, and Pinto across 356 hectares. The space features numerous walking paths, observation points, and recreational areas designed to offer visitors various ways to explore and enjoy the landscape.
This park opened in 2007 as part of Madrid's effort to establish green spaces near urban areas for the public. The project emerged from a desire to bring nature and recreation closer to people living in surrounding municipalities.
The Environmental Education Center in this space teaches visitors about local plants and wildlife through hands-on programs. It serves as a place where people connect with nature and learn how this landscape works.
The grounds are easy to explore with multiple entry points accessible from different municipalities. The best times to visit are spring and autumn, when temperatures are pleasant and the paths are most comfortable for walking.
The protected area supports a rich diversity of insect life that attracts birds and sustains an interconnected ecological network. Visitors are often surprised to find such thriving habitats so close to urban boundaries.
