Parque Saavedra, Public park in La Plata, Argentina

Saavedra Park is a public green space in La Plata with paved paths circling a central lake and flanked by native and exotic trees along with flower gardens. The grounds span multiple hectares and include diverse areas for walking and spending time outdoors.

The land was first used to supply drinking water to nearly 40% of La Plata, through a pumping plant near 14 and 68 built under engineer Carlos Dawney and inaugurated on 8 March 1885. Neighbours began planting willows and aromos and maintaining the paths around 1898, and in 1901 the park was named after Cornelio Saavedra, president of the First Junta. The botanical garden was created in the 1910s by Juan Ramón de la Llosa; fenced in 1938 as "Parque Uriburu", it recovered the Saavedra name in 1949.

The park's name honours Cornelio Saavedra, president of the First Junta. Near the lake stands the Rincón del Novelista, a tribute to writer Benito Lynch created on 25 April 1958, where the iron gate of his demolished house at diagonal 77 No. 734 is displayed. On weekends an antiques and crafts fair is held along streets 12 and 68.

The park is bounded by streets 12, 14, 64 and 68, with the botanical garden fenced off in the 12–14, 66–68 sector. The antiques and crafts fair sets up along streets 12 and 68 on weekends. The lake is small, so fishing yields mostly mojarras de río and some bagres. Since mid-2025 the grounds have been under restoration within La Plata's public space recovery plan.

The lake's small size limits its fish to mojarras de río and some bagres, which draws local anglers. In October 2017 young fishermen caught a large Loricariidae, a "Vieja de río", reported nationally as a strange creature; in February 2023 another angler released a sábalo, an endangered species, after mistaking it for a koi carp.
