Parque Norte, Recreation area in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Parque Norte is a recreation area in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It features two large artificial pools with bright blue water, joined by a narrow walkway with a thatched-roof kiosk, and is surrounded by rows of blue umbrellas on green lawns.
Parque Norte was established as a sports and recreation complex by the Sindicato de Empleados de Comercio. Over time, it expanded to include multiple pools, sports fields, and services for both union members and the public.
The pools are a summer gathering spot for families and workers, with separate areas like La Mansa reserved for adults over 18. Many visitors arrive early to rent lounge chairs and umbrellas, settling in for a full day by the water.
The park is open daily from morning until midnight, but the pools and green spaces close earlier in the evening. Visitors should bring minimal belongings to the pool area and note that glass, alcohol, and cooking utensils are not allowed.
The complex includes a dedicated aqua play area for children and a separate pool called La Mansa for adults only. A health check is mandatory before entering the pools, and visitors must keep the receipt for 30 days.
