Quinta Normal Park, Urban park in Santiago, Chile
The 88-acre green space contains multiple water features, walking paths, and recreational areas spread across the Quinta Normal district of Santiago.
Established in 1841, the park initially served as an experimental ground for cultivating foreign plant species through a network of greenhouses.
The Chilean National Museum of Natural History within the park exhibits extensive collections of anthropology, zoology, botany, paleontology, and entomology specimens.
Visitors can access the park through the Quinta Normal metro station, with entry points along Matucana Avenue, Portales Avenue, and Santo Domingo Street.
The park features standing grills for public barbecues and an aquatic zone where children can play while others enjoy paddle boat rides.
