Parque de Invierno, Public park in Oviedo, Spain.
Parque de Invierno is a public park of 171,368 m² in a natural hollow south of Oviedo's city centre, beside the A-66 and the Sierra del Aramo. A stream runs through the valley floor, crossed by three wooden bridges, and a straight path on the former FEVE railway line begins the 7.8 km Senda Verde. The larger southern section holds small woods, meadows and a frisbee-golf course.
The land developed from traditional Asturian buildings and was transformed into a modern recreational space. The preserved structures show regional building techniques that have roots in the area's agricultural past.
The park holds artworks and a historic Asturian hórreo, a raised wooden granary on stone pillars that recalls the region's farming past. Its name, Winter Park, contrasts with the central Campo de San Francisco, since this space is designed for active year-round use by Oviedo's residents.
The park is easily accessible on foot and has entry points throughout that lead to different activity areas based on visitor interests. Comfortable shoes are advisable, and allowing extra time helps you explore the forested paths and open spaces at a relaxed pace.
From here, visitors can walk along the Gafo River on the Fuso de la Reina trail, which passes through natural forest landscapes beyond the park's boundaries. This path connects the recreation area to the wider countryside and shows a different side of the region.
