University Park, Urban park in historic center Lima, Peru
The rectangular University Park spans 3,600 square meters at the intersection of Abancay Avenue and Nicolas de Pierola Avenue in Lima.
The park grounds housed the National University of San Marcos from 1870 to 1966, when an earthquake caused the institution to relocate.
The park features monuments to education leaders Sebastian Lorente, Hipolito Unanue, and Bartolome Herrera, along with an amphitheater for 350 people.
Visitors can access the park daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM without an entrance fee, but children require adult supervision.
The German Clock Tower plays the first verse of Peru's national anthem through its bells at noon and 6:00 PM each day.
