Barefoot Park, Sensory park in central Medellín, Colombia.
The park contains multiple areas with different textures, including sand zones, bamboo gardens, water fountains, and grass sections for walking without shoes.
The space transformed from an abandoned three-hectare strip of land in the 1990s into a public park, constructed between 1998 and 2000.
The park functions as a meeting point where residents remove their shoes to experience direct contact with natural elements in an urban setting.
Located near Alpujarra metro station, the park remains open daily and connects to the Interactive Museum EPM and Metropolitan Theatre of Medellín.
Visitors walk through designated areas with varying ground materials, from fine sand to smooth stones, engaging their feet with different sensations.
