Parque Rivadavia, Public park in Caballito, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Parque Rivadavia is a six-hectare public park in Caballito, Buenos Aires, occupying a city block between Avenida Rivadavia and Doblas, Chaco, Rosario and Beauchef streets. It was designed by Carlos León Thays (h) and Francisco Lavecchia and opened on 10 July 1928. The park has wide paved walkways, lawns, a small artificial lake, an old noria, an amphitheatre, children's games and a skating rink. Its main artwork is the Simón Bolívar monument by José Fioravanti, a white marble arch 11 metres high and 22 metres wide with a bronze equestrian statue and two marble figures.

The land was part of the Quinta Lezica, owned by Ambrosio Plácido de Lezica, grand-nephew of Juan de Lezica y Alquiza, a mayor of first vote in the Cabildo during the May Revolution. After Ambrosio's death, his widow Rosa had their son Ángel sell the remaining property in 1908; the municipality later expropriated it. By Ordinance No. 2702, the reduced plot became a public park on 10 July 1928, designed by Carlos León Thays (h) and Francisco Lavecchia.

The Bolívar monument, inaugurated on 28 October 1942, was made by Argentine sculptor José Fioravanti: a white marble arch 11 metres high and 22 wide, inscribed "A Simón Bolívar, la Nación Argentina", with a bronze equestrian figure and two marble figures at its sides. The Fuente de la Doncella, a white marble nude drawing water from a basin by Barcelona artist José Llimona Brughera, was donated by the Catalan community and unveiled on 19 July 1931.

The park is bounded by Avenida Rivadavia and Doblas, Chaco, Rosario and Beauchef streets, with nine entrances and a 625-metre perimeter fence added in the 2003 works. The book and music fair runs along the western edge, the carousel sits at the northwest corner on Rosario street, and the Sunday stamp and coin market is held under the large ombú at one of the Rivadavia entrances.

Every Sunday morning collectors gather in the park for a market trading stamps, coins, and used books. This specialized gathering has become a regular meeting point for those interested in these items.
