Parque Hernández, Public park in central Melilla, Spain.

The park extends over 4.2 hectares with three main gates, featuring walking paths, ornamental gardens, fountains, and recreational spaces throughout its trapezoid layout.

The park's construction began in 1900 under General Venancio Hernández Fernández, transforming a military training field and waste ground into an urban forest space.

The entrance gates display the Melilla coat of arms and the figure of Guzmán el Bueno, representing the city's historical connection to Spanish heritage.

Located near Plaza de España in the Modernist Extension district, the park provides multiple benches, children's play areas, and shaded spots for visitors.

In 2007, Parque Hernández received recognition as a Historical Garden during the 34th Congress of Parks and Gardens.
