Barefoot Park

Barefoot Park, Sensory park in central Medellín, Colombia.

Barefoot Park is a public park in central Medellín, designed by architect Felipe Uribe de Bedout and funded by EPM. It has a green area with gardens and bamboo, a sand area, and a water fountain area. A shallow rectangular water channel lined with light grey stone tiles sits in a paved plaza with stepped stone terraces, and a broad lawn is crossed by pale parallel strips and scattered low stone blocks.

The Barefoot Park was created between 1998 and 2000 by the public utility Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) and designed by architect Felipe Uribe de Bedout. It was laid out in the city's administrative district, next to the Metropolitan Theatre and the Medellín River, with the Interactive Museum EPM forming part of the park.

The park's name comes from its central activity: visitors take off their shoes to walk on sand, grass, stone and water. It was designed by architect Felipe Uribe de Bedout as a zen-inspired public space, and the bamboo grove known as the Bosque de los Enamorados is a setting for couples. The Interactive Museum EPM, a science museum, is part of the park.

The park is located near Alpujarra metro station and remains open daily for visitors. It connects to the Interactive Museum EPM and the Metropolitan Theatre, making it easy to visit multiple attractions in one trip.

The park allows visitors to feel different ground materials with their feet, from fine sand to smooth stones. This tactile experience is unusual for an urban space and makes sensory awareness the center of the visit.
