Agustín Ross Park, Public park in Pichilemu, Chile
Agustín Ross Park is a public park in Pichilemu featuring multiple landscaped areas linked by stone pathways and staircases. The grounds are defined by century-old Canary Island Date palms combined with illuminated fountains and decorative railings that shape the overall layout.
The park was founded in 1885 by architect Agustín Ross and gained National Monument status in 1988. This designation recognized its contribution to Chilean heritage and its importance to the city of Pichilemu.
The park connects with the neighboring casino building and creates a central meeting place where people gather for events and social occasions. The layout encourages visitors to spend time together in a shared outdoor space.
The park features several paths that descend toward the beach while navigating different elevations throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable footwear since staircases and uneven terrain are part of the walking route.
The 2010 earthquake caused extensive damage to the park's structures, prompting a major restoration effort. The work restored many elements to their original appearance while preserving the memory of this natural disaster.
