Felipe VI Park, Urban park in Valdebebas district, Madrid, Spain
Felipe VI Park is a large urban green space in the Valdebebas district covering more than 340 hectares. The grounds feature five distinct ecosystem types that represent central Iberian vegetation, along with an extensive network of pathways and routes throughout the space.
Construction of the park began in 2011 as part of Madrid's urban development program and opened to the public in March 2015. The project was part of efforts to create new green spaces in rapidly developing city districts.
The wooden spiral observation deck serves as a central meeting point where visitors gather to enjoy views of Madrid's skyline and nearby mountains. People come here to share the experience of looking out over the city and surrounding landscape.
The grounds offer more than 32 kilometers of walking trails and about 5 kilometers of cycling paths with multiple picnic areas spread throughout. Opening times change by season, so it is worth checking conditions before your visit.
An artificial river system flows through the grounds, connecting two lagoons with a wetland area that supports local wildlife. This hydrological system creates habitats for bird and amphibian species that are less common in urban settings.
