Parque Sarmiento

Parque Sarmiento, Multi-sports complex in Saavedra, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Parque Sarmiento is a large sports complex in Saavedra featuring four football fields, two Olympic swimming pools, and multiple tennis courts. The facility spans a wide area and provides training grounds for various sports.

The complex was inaugurated on 20 September 1981, built at a cost of 25 million dollars under mayor Osvaldo Cacciatore's push for a sports centre, with President Roberto Viola present. The land had earlier been intended to house Buenos Aires Zoo animals, named after zoo founder Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, but that plan never materialised. It was first concessioned to the Cooperadora de Acción Social, and in the summer of 2001 hosted free "Verano Buenos Aires" concerts by bands such as Divididos and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. It hosted events of the 2018 Youth Olympic Games.

The park is named after Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, the president and founder of the Buenos Aires Zoo, since the site was first meant to house the zoo's animals. In summer 2001 the "Verano Buenos Aires" cycle brought free concerts here by Pantera, Green Day, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and Mercedes Sosa. The houses behind the main entrance form the unofficial Barrio Sarmiento.

Entry is not free: since 2016 access to the sports complex is paid, and the fee has varied depending on whether the state or a concessionaire runs it. The main gate is on Avenida Dr. Ricardo Balbín, with other entrances on Avenida Triunvirato and Andonaegui street, plus a pedestrian access on Avenida General Paz. Buses 21, 28, 29, 41, 67, 71, 93, 110 and 117 stop nearby, and cars can enter from Triunvirato for parking. Internal paths are uneven.

The complex includes specialized areas for BMX freestyle cycling and a dedicated cycling path stretching 3 kilometers for riders of all levels. Beach volleyball courts offer additional recreational options for casual players.
