Simón Bolívar Park
Parque Metropolitano Simón Bolívar
An urban green lung larger than New York's Central Park, with lakes, lawns and cycling paths, Bogotá's top choice for weekend leisure.
The park covers about 400 hectares, including the surrounding sports park and botanical garden. Its central artificial lake allows rowing, and the lakeside paths suit running and cycling. It hosts large free music festivals such as Rock al Parque, and families often picnic and fly kites here. It is open all day and free of charge, located in the northwest of the city, and reachable by TransMilenio to Simón Bolívar station or by taxi. There are few people at night, so do not linger after dark.
