Mesones Park, Urban park in El Sardinero district, Santander, Spain.
Mesones Park is an urban green space in the El Sardinero district featuring a large grass area and an artificial pond positioned near the Second Beach. The layout provides several zones for walking and leisure activities throughout its expansive grounds.
The site was developed in 1955 on former sand dunes and named after longtime mayor Gonzalez Mesones. This transformation represented a key urban development for Santander's coastal area.
The park contains sculptures dedicated to important local figures including the Tonetti Brothers and poet Benito Perez Galdos. These monuments reflect how the community honors those who shaped Santander's history.
The park features a children's playground, public restrooms, and numerous cafes and restaurants throughout. Its location near the beach makes it a practical spot for spending extended time with family.
A small sculpture at the corner of the park marks the former location of the El Sardinero Sports Field that once stood there. This marker preserves the memory of the neighborhood's sporting past.
