This park, which covers an area of over 4000m2, has been one of the most far-reaching urban projects undertaken by Madrid.

According to ,the park is structured sound basic concept of the circle as a geometric figure. Its layout consists of a distributice ring which corresponds to the three kilometres of paths which run through the park. This circulation ring is not dealt with in a uniform way as its plants and the colour of its surfacing changes, symbolising the four seasons of the year.

It was one of the most dilapidated and disfigured city limits for Madrid. But when i visited the park, it was fabulous with great weather.

If there were no large-scale sculptures, it was so boring. Sixteen artists have placed their works in different zones of the park. The landmarks make park attractive.
