Parque Araucano, Urban park in Las Condes, Santiago, Chile.
Parque Araucano is an urban park in Las Condes that spreads across multiple activity zones within its grounds. The space provides tennis courts, basketball courts, beach volleyball areas, children's playgrounds, skating facilities, and picnic tables throughout.
This space was once part of the Fundo San Luis estate before it was transformed into a public recreational area. The land went through various planning phases during different periods of the city's development.
A sculpture called Ofrenda at the Presidente Riesco entrance honors the Mapuche people and their heritage. This artwork stands as a visible reminder of the indigenous connection to the land where people gather today.
The park is accessible by foot with several entry points that make it easy to navigate the different zones. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since exploring the various sections involves walking through the grounds.
A rose garden within the grounds displays many different varieties that draw visitors for quiet strolls. A footbridge called Puente Entre Parques connects this space to the adjacent Parque Juan Pablo II, allowing people to walk between both areas.
