This park is located just outside the city center on the N-128 road toward the Santa Lucía neighborhood. It is a large park, located below the walled area of the Castle, on the banks of the Fresno River. Here, the river is dammed, and there is a bar-café with a very pleasant terrace where you can enjoy a drink, and where you can practice non-motorized water sports, such as canoeing or taking a trip along the river by renting a pedal boat. There is a significant gradient from the road to the riverbank, and numerous paths and pedestrian trails for leisurely strolls.
