General San Martín Park, Urban park with narrow-gauge railway in Mendoza, Argentina.

General San Martín Park covers 307 cultivated hectares plus 86 extra hectares in Mendoza, Argentina. Its main entrance is a black wrought-iron gate with gold scrollwork, three leaves on granite bases, topped by an Andean condor and the Mendoza coat of arms, with palm trees behind.

Law No. 19, signed on 6 December 1896, created the Parque del Oeste after the 1861 earthquake left Mendoza facing diphtheria, cholera and measles epidemics; Emilio Civit had promoted reforestation as flood defence. The French landscape architect Carlos Thays designed it in English and French 19th-century styles. It was renamed General San Martín Park by Law 1744 in 1947.

The park honors General José de San Martín, who led independence movements across South America in the 19th century. Locals from Mendoza use the grounds daily for jogging, family outings, and social gatherings on weekends.

The grounds work best for visits in the morning or late afternoon, when heat subsides and more shade becomes available under the trees. Most paths are wide enough for strollers and wheelchairs, though some hillside sections feature steep inclines.

The main gates were cast in Glasgow for an Ottoman sultan who never took delivery; Emilio Civit bought them in Paris in 1907. The central portal, 6.30 m wide and 6.70 m high, is crowned by an Andean condor and the Mendoza coat of arms, which replaced the sultan's crown and crescent. The side gates still keep the Islamic crescent and star.
