Insider tip

The park's cafetería has been closed since 2016 - bring your own picnic. Fridays and weekends the park stays open until 22:00, perfect for an evening stroll. The climbing wall is free and open to all levels.

History

Officially named Parque Pedro González after a former mayor of La Laguna. It sits on former farmland that gave the neighborhood its name. In 2024-2025 the city council completed improvements to the central pond: oxygenating plants, natural filters, new water lilies, and protected garden zones to boost biodiversity.

Suggested route

Park near the entrance → lake and water garden (lilies, turtles) → playground → climbing wall / skatepark → walk to historic center (10 min) → tapas in old town.
