The “Tres de Febrero Park” known as the “Palermo Woods”, is the result of the dream and work of architect Carlos Thays. The artificial lakes with its bridges and harbors, surrounded by old trees, the elegant Rosedal Park and the delicious Andalusia Courtyard with its majolica donated by the Seville City Council constitute one of the classic green places where Porteños flock to on weekends to catch some sun, go for boat and bike rides, roller blade or exercise.

The Park consists of the Galileo Galilei Planetarium, Japanese Garden, The streets across the Spanish Monument, the Botanical Gardens, the Zoo, Palermo Race Track, the Argentine Polo field where the Republic Open Championship is played every year in November and the King Fahd Islamic Cultural Center.
