Parque Sarmiento
A large urban park designed by a French landscape architect, featuring a lake, rose garden, Ferris wheel, and the former zoo site.
Sarmiento Park was designed in 1889 by French landscape architect Charles Thays. Covering about 100 hectares, it serves as the 'central park' for the people of Córdoba. The park includes an artificial lake with small islands, a rose garden, a Greek theater, a newly installed Ferris wheel, and an eco-park transformed from the former zoo. It is popular with joggers, cyclists, and picnickers on weekends. It is open all day and free to enter. The Evita and Caraffa museums are on its west side, and the New Córdoba University student district lies to the north.
