Parque Alejo Barrios, Urban park in Playa Ancha, Valparaíso, Chile.
Parque Alejo Barrios is an urban park in Playa Ancha with multiple soccer fields and open green spaces. The grounds sit between educational and military institutions and provide space for sports and community gatherings throughout the year.
The land was originally private property before being transferred to the state for public use. This transformation marked the area's shift from private holdings to a communal space for the neighborhood.
Local soccer clubs have used these fields as their home ground for decades, making sports a central part of daily life here. The park remains a gathering place where neighborhood teams and residents come to play and watch matches.
The park is freely accessible and maintained by the local community, with clear pathways and marked fields throughout the grounds. Visitors should expect activity from sports clubs, especially during weekday evenings and weekends when matches and training sessions occur.
The grounds once hosted major military parades that made it a center for official ceremonies in the city. Today that ceremonial role has completely faded, replaced by the everyday energy of neighborhood soccer clubs and local matches.
