Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park
Parque de Doña Casilda Iturrizar
An English-style city park beside the art museum, with a duck pond and fountains. It's a good place to rest between the Guggenheim and the Fine Arts Museum.
The park was built in 1907 and is named after philanthropist Casilda Iturrizar, who donated large sums of property to the city. Covering about 8.5 hectares, it is the largest green space in central Bilbao. It has a duck pond (nicknamed the 'duck park'), a musical fountain and tree-lined walks. Its northeast corner adjoins the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, and a 5-minute walk north leads to the Guggenheim and the riverside path. Admission is free. It's ideal for a stroll or for children to play.
