Parque de la Costa, Amusement park in Tigre, Argentina.
Parque de la Costa is an amusement park in Tigre, Argentina, with roller coasters, water rides, and attractions for all ages. The complex stretches along the riverbank and divides into several themed areas with playgrounds, restaurants, and performance venues.
Parque de la Costa was inaugurated on 10 April 1997, built by Santiago Soldati and Walter Álvarez on a 14-hectare lot between the Luján and Tigre rivers, following the 1995 opening of the Tren de la Costa light rail that connects it at Delta station. It opened with the Tronador coaster, El Dragón water coaster and La Vuelta al Mundo ferris wheel; Boomerang and El Vigía followed in the late 1990s. After SCP's bankruptcy in 2000, two-thirds of the park passed to creditors, and in 2020 it was sold to the Fenix Group.
The park opened in 1997 with live shows such as "Cara de Barro" and "Delta, la chica del Tigre", staged in its own theatre and amphitheatre. Television programmes including "Verebó TV" were later broadcast from the grounds. The musical fountain, Fuente de Aguas Danzantes, was removed in 2014 to make way for the AquaFan wave pool.
Visitors arriving by train from Buenos Aires get off in Tigre and walk about four blocks along Avenida General Mitre to reach the entrance. Weekends and holiday periods bring larger crowds, so weekdays offer shorter wait times at the rides.
The park sits on a 14-hectare lot between the Luján and Tigre rivers, and the Tren de la Costa light rail line connects directly to it at Delta station. The 35 m El Faro tower gives a view over the park and the delta channels.
