Lineal del Manzanares Park

Local name: Parque Lineal del Manzanares

Park Lineal del Manzarenes is a vast area stretching along the riverbed, from which its name derives. The main part was designed by Ricardo Boffil's architectural team. There is a sports area with two football fields, a children's playground and a place to play petanque. The focal point of this part of the park is a sculpture made of bronze and steel, depicting the head in a cosmic crown - "La Dama del Manzanares".

The sculpture was created in 2003 based on the design of the Valencian artist Manolo Valdés, one of the founders of the artistic group Equipo Crónica. It was set on the La Atalaya hill, its height is 13 meters, weighs 8 tons. The type of lighting changes with the seasons.

A great place to relax is Plaza Verde, which is an amphitheater equipped with wooden benches separated by greenery. Decorative fountains and springs with drinking water were placed along the alleys along the river bank.
