Parque de la Independencia
The city's largest park, with formal French gardens, a rose garden, a lake and dancing fountains. Inside are the Castagnino Museum of Fine Arts, the Provincial Historical Museum and the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa, home of Newell's Old Boys.
Parque de la Independencia opened in 1902 and covers about 126 hectares. Highlights include the symmetrical French gardens, a rose garden that blooms in spring, a lake where you can go rowing, and a night-time fountain show with coloured lights. Within the park are the Castagnino Museum of Fine Arts, the Museo Histórico Provincial Dr. Julio Marc, a children's playground, and the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa, home of Newell's Old Boys. Entry is free. On weekends local families picnic here and joggers fill the paths, and it makes a good half-day stroll.
