Parque del Oeste

A beautiful park to take a stroll. Very well maintained. There is a huge, free rose garden. You can also walk to the opposite end for amazing views of the city. There is also a nice spot in the middle near the street where you can sit and have drinks. Gorgeous greenery and flowers and plants. A jewel in the city and not very crowded.

Just a fabulous and well cared for park. A great way to challenge children (and adults) to run and find their birth year rose winner.

It is a very lovely park, it’s free and doesn’t cost anything, check the local times for when it opens and closes, it has a lovely little pond and a very nice statue in a water fountain, the garden is very well maintained and has lots of lovely flowers. Definitely worth checking out and taking a walk in the park. There are several other monuments close by worth checking out as well.

Yet another beautiful park within the city limits of Madrid and a really significant one. One end of the park hosts the Temple of Debod even though I couldn't visit it. It was not closed but I didn't get the time to reach there and get some pics. What makes it distinct is that the park comprises a geographically unsymmetrical terrain with slopes where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful sunset. It houses a variety of monuments and also a Bird Observatory within it. Good place to spend your evenings reading or relaxing away from city life!

Come and visit the commemorative plaque that was installed here in honor of Cristina la Veneno, a trans icon in the history of the LGBTQ + community in Spain .

Large park, good place to relax

This place is a dream! It’s close to my house so I tend to come here more often than other parks and it’s an oasis of peace. It’s very large so you can access it from different parts and walk in all directions. It’s extremely clean and well maintained, the trash cans are always empty and the lawns super lush! It’s an open park, so I wouldn’t be surprised if people slept there at night, but there’s no sign of it. Also, because of the open park factor I wouldn’t recommend walking there late at night (but I’m a woman so perhaps hyper aware of safety risks). Dogs are running around everywhere but generally owners are respectful and clean up after them as well as call them back if they see someone uncomfortable.

Even though I missed the roses, I was there late September, this is a really beautiful park to escape the city hustle. Quiet and peaceful.

Retiro gets all the hype, but Parque del Oeste is quite lovely and much quieter! The views from Parque del Oeste are fantastic. You can see out for miles and there's a great view of the palace. There's lots of shady spots to cool down and beautiful pathways for walking. This is an under rated park on the west side of the city that is gorgeous!

This Western Park was once a land fill, in 1909 the mayor planted gardens, installed a fountain, put in paths & monuments. We walked through the Parque del Oeste go up & back yo Casa de Campo by the Teleférico de Madrid, a gondola lift. We passed a police presence & some walking dogs.

Parque del Oeste (Spanish for Western Park) is a much less visited park than the massive El Retiro. But it's a lot quieter too! It's a pleasant little place to stroll amidst an extensive rose garden. I gave it four stars, but in mid-May when the roses are in full bloom, it's unquestionably a five-star experience! This gorgeous park without tourists includes charming pathways, lots of plants, and beautiful fountains. Visit when you want to escape the chaos of Madrid!

A nice park in the center of an urban center. The famous Templo de Debod is located here. The views at the top of the park were really nice. I could see this being a nice park for locals. It can be a nice stroll or exercise here. There are restaurants around the outskirts and this park has different monuments and walkways. I only got to see a small piece of the park but I thought the part I did see was scenic. It wouldn't necessarily be something I'd recommend to tourists if it's out of your way but if it's nearby come at sunset and enjoy the view!

I noticed this park When i was head to the cable car station with my hubby, I thought it was just a regal park. When I was enjoy my tour with the cable car with my hubby in the air. Saw this beautiful rose garden, just decided to come and check this place out. The rose garden located really close the the cable car station. We just walked out of the place and walk around 2 minutes, We were already at the entrance. And they was no need to buy any ticket to check this place out. Sweet. We were here at the beginning of April, So most of the plants just start to have their blooms, there were still some roses already flowering. The plan still looked brillint. Also there are some sculptures and the Temple of Debod is also here. The rest are mostly just plants, It is a small getaway from city. I think this park it really great for a walk. It really peaceful and refreshing.

Though many big cities fall under the category of asphalt jungle, I can't say that's true for Madrid. The city is many wonderful things but it is also populous and fast and in turn it can sometimes be hard and dirty. Yes, we need the pulse, the action, the cement, the lights, and options and signs but we also need carbon dioxide and gentle, breezy, green and a chance to slow down, kick back and look up at the trees and sky. It is only natural for urbanites to suffer from city burnout. But, Madrileños and visitors are a lucky lot in that this is a people-friendly city with a good number of zonas verdes (green areas,parks) in which respite can easily be found. I haven't come close to visiting them all but I do have a favorite refuge thus far and it's Parque de oeste. If you must get there quickly, go by metro and exit at the Moncloa station. If you can make the time, though, I highly recommend the scenic route. My favorite is passing through beautiful Plaza de España and heading up to the Templo de Debod and then onto and into the lush Parque de oeste. This park has all that you need to help you unwind and pass the hours reading, picnicking (you do see the occasional bottle of wine, but best be discreet- the times when it was strange not to have a bottle of something in one's hand, at least after dark, are over), jogging, dog-walking and training, tree gazing, napping, hanging out with friends. It's a popular lover's spot, too, which makes perfect sense because it is romantic here. There are many grassy green slopes beneath large beautiful trees and lots of them. There are walking trails, benches, a gorgeous rose garden, statues, sculptures, a stream with a little bridge, a picnic area with tables. There's a children's park nearby and the Paseo del Pintor Rosales where you will find a number of restaurant and cafe terraces where you can have a tasty beverage and people watch the evening away. Enjoy!!!
