Parque Tres de Febrero, Urban park in Palermo, Argentina.
Parque Tres de Febrero covers about 400 hectares between Libertador and Figueroa Alcorta Avenues, with three artificial lakes, groves and the El Rosedal rose garden. A long white pergola with a slatted roof and low railing runs behind beds of red roses and reddish ground cover, facing the water. Tall white and beige apartment towers rise above the treetops at the park's edge.
The park opened in 1875 on what had been the private estate of Juan Manuel de Rosas, taking its name from February 3, 1852, the date he was removed from power. This transformation turned private land into a public space accessible to all city residents.
The Poets' Garden displays stone and bronze busts of international writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Luigi Pirandello, and William Shakespeare along its paths. This collection honors authors from different countries and invites visitors to walk among the sculptures while thinking about literature.
Visitors can rent rowboats on the lakes, cycle on designated paths, or join guided walks through the rose gardens from sunrise to sunset. The grounds work well for picnicking and relaxing, and the wide paths are accessible to strollers and wheelchairs.
The Eduardo Sívori Museum occupies a converted Edwardian-style café building within the park and presents exhibitions of Argentine art throughout the year. The structure originally served as a meeting place for visitors before being transformed into a museum space.
