Castelar Park

Castelar Park is an urban green space in Badajoz featuring tall palm trees surrounding a central pond where waterfowl gather near walking paths and seating. The grounds include children's play areas, exercise equipment, and ample parking for visitors.

The grounds underwent major renovations under Mayor Miguel Angel Celdran Matute's leadership, transforming a neglected space into a modern recreation area. This redevelopment established it as a key leisure destination for the city.

Several monuments within the grounds honor notable figures such as writer Carolina Coronado and poet Luis Chamizo Trigueros. These tributes reflect how the space recognizes and celebrates local artistic heritage.

The space sits south of the Guadiana River and offers convenient vehicle access with ample parking. Visiting in early morning or late afternoon hours provides a more relaxed experience for exploring the grounds.

Free-roaming peacocks wander the grounds, creating unexpected encounters with these striking birds within the leisure area. These animals have become a defining characteristic that draws many people to visit.
