Nearby, there are several museums and a convent, as well as a nearby parking area, Parking La Salle, which belongs to the adjacent school.

What atmosphere can we find in Bonaval Park?

In this space, there is no specific age range or profile; you might find young people gathered for a meeting, athletes running or jogging, elderly people taking a leisurely walk, young children engaged in various extracurricular activities, musicians with all sorts of instruments entertaining the afternoon, and more.

Although Santiago is full of green spaces, Bonaval Park is one of the favorites among locals.

In addition to these green areas, the park features an old cemetery and the monks’ garden from the Convent of San Domingos, which form the foundation of this park, along with unique views of the Cathedral.

In summary, if you plan to visit Santiago and want to disconnect from the city and connect more with nature and a sense of history, don’t hesitate to visit Bonaval Park.
