Parque de las Presillas, Urban park in Alcorcón, Spain.

The park covers 57.50 hectares and contains a stone pine forest of 40 hectares along with 32 century-old cork oak trees.

The land was previously a military farm until the early 1990s when the Alcorcón City Council acquired it during the construction of M-40 highway.

The area preserves remnants of Mediterranean mountain ecosystems through its cork oak grove, representing the original vegetation of the Madrid region.

The park borders are defined by M-40 highway to the north, M-406 to the south, La Fortuna neighborhood to the east, and Canaleja sports complex to the west.

The cork oaks in the park are officially cataloged by Spain's Ministry of Agriculture as an indigenous seed source for replanting purposes.
