Park of the Exposition, Urban park in Santa Beatriz district, Lima, Peru.

The Park of the Exposition extends across 112,804 square meters, featuring lakes, gardens, an amphitheater, and several historical buildings with neo-Renaissance architecture.

Following the demolition of Lima's city walls in 1872, the park emerged as part of President José Balta's modernization initiative to host the Lima International Exhibition.

The Lima Art Museum, housed in the Palace of the Exhibition, presents permanent collections of Peruvian art from pre-Columbian times through contemporary periods.

Visitors can access the park daily from 09:00 to 20:00 without admission fees, with security personnel maintaining surveillance throughout operating hours.

The park formerly contained Peru's first zoo, which housed 271 animal species from the Amazon, collected through an expedition led by Henrique Casseu in 1871.
