Madrid Río, Riverside park in Madrid, Spain
The park stretches along the Manzanares River with 12 pedestrian bridges connecting multiple neighborhoods through green corridors and recreational spaces.
The 2011 urban renewal project transformed a former motorway area into a public park, restoring the natural connection between Madrid and its river.
The Matadero Madrid cultural center within the park offers theater performances, art exhibitions, and contemporary creative activities throughout the year.
Visitors can access 17 different play areas, sports facilities, cycling paths, and water features distributed across 120 hectares of parkland.
The Salon de Pinos contains 8,000 pine trees forming a linear forest that serves as the central axis of the entire park system.
