Doña Casilda Iturrizar park, Public park in Abando district, Bilbao, Spain.
Doña Casilda Iturrizar park is an 8.52-hectare green space with ornamental ponds, fountains, and winding paths sheltered by mature trees. The grounds feature open lawns, a fine arts museum, children's play areas, and bodies of water where ducks, swans, and peacocks live.
The park opened in 1907 on land given as a gift by a wealthy resident, and takes its name from her donation. Designers at that time created an English-style garden layout that survives to the present day.
The park is named after a benefactor from Bilbao whose legacy shaped this green space for the community. Today, visitors experience her gift through the maintained gardens and the outdoor artworks displayed throughout the grounds.
The park has pathways for walking, multiple play areas, and a classic carousel for families. Benches are scattered throughout the grounds, and the ponds offer chances to observe wildlife in their natural setting.
At the center of the park stands a pergola framing a fountain that once performed water, light, and sound effects for visitors. This feature shows how the grounds combined innovation and artistic pleasure in the early 1900s.
