Tercer Milenio Park, Urban recreational park in central Bogotá, Colombia.
Tercer Milenio Park is a large recreational area in central Bogotá offering multiple sports facilities and outdoor activities for residents. The grounds contain soccer and basketball courts, tennis areas, skating facilities, and open-air exercise equipment spread across the space.
The park occupies the site of El Cartucho in the Santa Inés neighbourhood, a district where Bogotá's upper class lived until the mid-20th century, after which it was abandoned and became a dangerous area. Construction began in 1998 as part of a plan to recover the city centre, also covering Plaza de Los Mártires and Plazoleta de San Victorino. The first stage opened in June 2000, the second in 2004, and the name was chosen to mark the new millennium.
The park takes its name from the new millennium and marks a turning point for this part of the city. You can see how the space brings together people from different neighborhoods who come here to exercise and spend time outdoors.
The park is accessible by public transport and has bike parking available, with most areas open for free use by visitors. You can arrive anytime to use the various sports facilities or simply walk around the grounds.
The park's name was chosen to mark the arrival of the new millennium, and its first stage was handed over in June 2000. In its centre stands the ETB Interactive Portal, which provides free internet access to residents of strata 1, 2 and 3.
