Parque Santander is also known as Parque Canal de Isabel II and it not only has areas full of trees but it also has spaces dedicated to leisure, entertainment and sporting activities. In Estate One we thoroughly enjoy walking along green spaces in Madrid because we think that parks are an essential part of a city. In this blog we have already talked about some parks in Madrid. The last one we wrote about was Parque del Capricho. Today, we will visit a multidisciplinary park called Parque Santander which is located in the district of Chamberí.

A RESTING PLACE WITH SPORTING ACTIVITIES

Parque Santander was inaugurated in 2007, with a total area of 120.000 square meters. The aim of the project was to combine a resting place where people could meet as well as spaces for sporting activities.

This park is located in part of the area known as Canal de Isabel II which is between Santander Street and Filipinas Avenue. Its recreational and leisure part is full of different kinds of trees where you can not only play chess but also play boules or bocce.

On the other hand, half of this park has been planned in order to offer sporting activities such as paddle tennis, football and jogging. We can see one of the water tanks of Canal de Isabel II which had to be reinforced.

In the middle of this beautiful park there is an important pond with jets of water which are very much appreciated in the hot summer season.

DID YOU KNOW THAT…?

The area which is currently Parque Santander used to be a take-off and landing field for helicopters.
