Aluche Park, Urban park in Latina district, Madrid, Spain
Aluche Park is an urban green space in the Latina neighborhood with two distinct sections separated by a street. The southern area features an artificial stream with small waterfalls and large granite boulders sourced from the nearby Sierra de Guadarrama mountains.
The park was created in 1973 when Madrid's city government and utility companies agreed to bury electrical cables underground at this location. This arrangement allowed the land to become public green space instead of remaining off-limits for technical infrastructure.
The park's name reflects local history and community values, chosen by residents to represent their neighborhood. Walking through it today, you sense how the space belongs to the people who live nearby and use it daily.
The space offers sports facilities including football fields, basketball courts, and petanque areas, plus a skating rink and children's play zones spread across the property. Dog owners will find designated areas for their pets, making it easy to use different sections depending on your activity.
The artificial stream follows the historic course of the Arroyo Luche, a former waterway that once flowed through the neighborhood. This connection to the past gives the water feature meaning beyond simple decoration.
