The General San Martín Park was designed in 1896 by the architect Carlos Thays, the renowned French landscape architect; in it the English and French tradition of gardening of the 19th century are combined.

The forest heritage with more than 300 species originating from North America, Asia, Europe and Australia have turned it into a plant universe, full of streets and paths specially built to make your journey more pleasant. Its 400-hectare plant orb was created based on a quality of life criterion, since the afforestation on the west side of the city allows for the correct humidification of the environment. For more than a century, this park has been one of the most important urban green spaces in Argentina, both for its size and for its proximity to the city. Currently it covers 307 cultivated hectares, 17 km. routes and 82 hectares of expansion.
