Parque Santa Mónica, Public park in Recoleta, Chile

Parque Santa Mónica is a seven-hectare public park on Avenida Los Zapadores 1190 at Guanaco street, in the Recoleta district of Santiago. It belongs to the Urban Parks Program of Chile's Ministry of Housing and Urbanism. An artificial lagoon sits at its centre, with palm trees and other vegetation around it, plus sports equipment, a children's play area, benches and bins.

The park was established in 1993 as part of a citywide initiative to create green spaces across Santiago. This development reflected a broader effort to provide outdoor recreational areas in urban neighborhoods.

The park serves as a gathering place for local sports groups and fitness enthusiasts who regularly use the facilities throughout the week. It has become an important meeting point for neighbors seeking outdoor exercise and social connection in an urban setting.

The park is open year-round with regular maintenance by PARQUEMET to keep facilities in good condition. It is located on Avenida Los Zapadores and is easily accessible on foot from the surrounding neighborhood.

The water body at the centre is an artificial lagoon, not a natural lake, fed and maintained as part of the park's design. The grounds also hold palm trees among the other vegetation, and pets are allowed, so dogs are regularly walked along the paths.
