Parque Palermo is the home ground of Central Español Fútbol Club, which plays in Uruguay's Primera División. The club decided to build it at the 1931 pre-season assembly because members complained that the previous pitch on Avenida 8 de Octubre was too far away. It was inaugurated on 31 October 1937, during the 13th round of that year's Uruguayan Championship.
The stadium is easily accessible by public transportation serving the Parque Batlle neighborhood and surrounding areas. Visitors should check match schedules in advance and arrive early to secure good seating during events.
The stadium sits adjacent to the more famous Estadio Centenario, forming part of a larger complex of sports facilities in the city. This concentration of playing venues makes the area a key hub for organized football in Montevideo.
