Dehesa de Navalcarbón, Nature park in Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain.
Dehesa de Navalcarbón is a nature park in Las Rozas de Madrid that covers roughly 120 hectares with both natural spaces and sports facilities. Located between highway A6 and M-50, it includes swimming pools, tennis courts, and fitness areas.
The park preserves military bunkers from the Spanish Civil War built between 1936 and 1939. These structures remain as silent witnesses to the conflict that shaped the region's history.
The park features an artificial stream that traces the route of an incomplete 18th-century water canal project. This waterway now shapes the green spaces and serves as a reminder of an ambitious construction plan from centuries past.
The park is easy to explore on foot or by bike on its wide paths, and visitors can move between different zones without difficulty. Sports facilities are located in a separate area, so check specific hours before planning a visit.
The grounds host various waterfowl species that inhabit the natural water areas and can be observed throughout the park. These birds form a small ecosystem within the Madrid metropolitan region, showing how nature persists alongside urban development.
