Not as big nor as significant as a Central Park in Manhattan, for example, but this area is in its own sense the Central Park of Palermo neighborhood. The neighborhood is filled with bars, clubs, restaurants, crowds, and so on. Sometimes it is nice to get away from that and enjoy a bit of nature. In Palermo, this is as good as it gets. I definitely recommend coming to this park sometime. I have noticed that some area are open past 5pm, but I am not sure which ones are.

During weekends it seems to be the top choice for a nice day out, tons of joggers, children, dog owners, teenagers, older couples and everything in between decide to spend at least a couple of hours in Chacabuco Park eating candy apples and sweet popcorn... or smoking pot and drinking Fernet con Coca. To each its own! But, as it happens in most public parks, you have to be alert. As soon as the sun goes down, better be aware of your surroundings, specially if you're by yourself. All in all, it's a really nice park, really suitable to spend a nice day out with family or friends (humans and canines alike).

When the petals are closed, the flower stands 75 feet tall and 52 feet wide. When the petals are open, they span 105 feet. It was designed by Eduardo Catalano. Amazing to see the city of Buenos Aires reflected in the petals. Visit early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

The sculpture is fairly big (75 feet tall), with its signature characteristic being that its petals can move. The petals are retracted at sunset and then opened up again at sunrise. I thought that it was a gorgeous looking sculpture, but not something to go out of one's way for. What was disappointing as well is that you cannot get close to it and only take photos from a distance. It is surrounded by a reflecting pool. However, it was a perfect add on to my visit to the nearby Recoleta Cemetery.
