Parque Forestal, Santiago, Urban park in Santiago, Chile
The Parque Forestal extends along the Mapocho River from Plaza Baquedano to Estación Mapocho, featuring three rows of Platanus orientalis trees and extensive pathways.
The creation of this park in 1905 involved transforming the former Mapocho River banks into a structured green space for the growing urban population.
The Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts and Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art share a building within the park, offering exhibitions throughout the year.
The park remains open daily and connects with Balmaceda Park, bordered by Santa María Avenue to the north and Merced Street to the south.
The German Fountain stands as a central element in the park, where temporary markets called ferias display local art and clothing on scheduled days.
