Quinta Normal Park

Quinta Normal Park

Quinta Normal Park is an urban park located in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and is named after the district where it is situated. It borders Avenida Matta to the east, Avenida Portales to the south, and Avenida Santo Domingo to the north. The park houses several museums, including the Chilean National Museum of Natural History. Nearby is the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, and there is also a public library adjacent to the park. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing time strolling through the park or visit the museums and library to broaden their knowledge.

Established in 1841, Quinta Normal Park originally featured a greenhouse cultivating foreign plants and spanned 36 hectares. The park also includes a railway museum displaying retired locomotives and train carriages. There is a small lake where visitors can take boat rides. In the open area at the back of the park, there are permanent barbecue grills available for public use—friends or families can gather here for a barbecue. Visitors can take the Santiago Metro and get off at the Santiago Station to reach the park.
