Parque de la Asomadilla, urban park in Córdoba, Spain
Parque de la Asomadilla is a 27-hectare urban park in Córdoba's Norte-Sierra district, the third largest in Andalusia. It was designed as a Mediterranean forest with 1,200 trees of 18 native species, including 197 hawthorns, 192 pomegranates, 158 hackberries, 117 holm oaks and 109 olive trees. The park has children's play areas, a basketball and futsal court, and a viewpoint over the city.
The park was built in the early 2000s after residents had proposed the idea years earlier to turn the area into public space. Its official opening came in 2007, making the site accessible to the public.
The park's name comes from the Asomadilla area of the Norte-Sierra district, and it was the Valdeolleros residents' association that proposed a park here in 1983. The design reproduces a Mediterranean forest, and the 1,200 planted trees are grouped by species, so visitors can walk past rows of pomegranates, nettle trees and holm oaks.
The park has multiple entry points around its perimeter, making it easy to access from different directions. Visitors should know that opening times vary by season, with longer hours during warmer months.
The park covers 27 hectares, making it the third-largest park in Andalusia after Seville's Alamillo and Huelva's Moret. It was designed as a simulated Mediterranean forest with 18 native species and 1,200 trees, among them 197 hawthorns, 192 pomegranates and 158 hackberries.
