Parque Nicolás Avellaneda, Public park in Parque Avellaneda district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The park covers 30 hectares of green space, featuring diverse tree species that provide shelter to more than 25 bird species.

The land originated as an orchard managed by a religious order in the 18th century before becoming the Olivera family estate in 1828.

The Casona de los Olivera functions as an exhibition center, while El Tambo serves as a performing arts venue within the park grounds.

Located at the intersection of Avenida Directorio and Lacarra, the park includes sports facilities, an athletics track, and swimming pools.

A miniature train, relocated from the former Buenos Aires Zoo in 1930, operates on weekends, offering rides through the park grounds.
