Park with many attractions
The park's history dates back to 1882, when it was decided to start work on the railway leading to Portugal. Work was delayed as it was difficult to get hold of all the necessary materials. To publicize the project, and exhibition was set up at the Paseo de Canalejas, after the City acquired the land at low cost to convert it into a municipal park. Facilities at the Park Alamedilla include an artificial lake in the heart of the campus, bordered by weeping willows, and a space dedicated to caring for birds. The most popular attraction in the park is a small zoo, where there is a large lime tree in the centre. The park has many recreational areas for children, including a puppet theatre, a library and a pond with ducks and swans. You can see rabbits, guinea hens or turkeys here.
