Parque Chacabuco

Parque Chacabuco is a residential neighborhood in the south-central area of Buenos Aires, bordered by Avenida La Plata and Avenida Directorio. It contains residential buildings, local shops, and public spaces that structure the everyday life of those who live there.

The area was originally home to a gunpowder factory that was destroyed by an explosion in 1898, opening the way for its transformation into a residential district. After this event, the area grew into an established neighborhood with homes and businesses.

The neighborhood celebrates its foundation day on May 15 with street markets and local gatherings where residents display their traditions and way of life. These events shape how people in the area connect with one another and maintain a sense of shared identity.

The neighborhood is accessible by multiple bus routes and subway lines, with several stops distributed throughout the area. The main avenues are wide and easy to navigate, allowing convenient access to shops, schools, and local services.

The neighborhood takes its name from the historic Battle of Chacabuco in 1817, a significant victory in Argentina's independence struggle. This connection to national history lives on in the names and memories of local residents.
