Also known as Plaza Devoto, is located right in the middle of its commercial center (although there…read moreis a mall in Devoto as well) and in between two different stations (the Devoto station of the San Martín railway line, and Devoto station of the Urquiza line). It's a nice park, not too fancy and not too large, that caters to the needs of the locals. The park has free wifi, benches, and plenty of greenery. You can find people jogging, playing soccer, drinking, hanging out, walking their dogs and playing with their children. There's a small carousel inside the square as well. It's a nice little place, surrounded by plenty of restaurants, pizza places, shops and even a hospital.

Great jumping off point for Palermo! I've never been to…read moreArmenia, but this plaza makes me sure feel at home. There's a non-working fountain in the middle of this plaza, surrounded by a fence to keep the riff-raf out of the fountain at night. On the weekends, I found that there's an arts n crafts market that surrounds the park, with lots of skilled craftsmen selling their wares with fresh, unique works of art at a reasonable price. We found that there's art for everyone here- I got some earrings and some signs in the Porteno Filetado style- so cool! Surrounding the plaza are lots of places to drink- Palermo seems kind of like the strip- where you can bounce around and try lots of different bars in the neighborhood. The plaza and the neighborhood felt pretty safe, and the plaza seemed well lit enough at night.

I have such ambivalent feelings about Plaza Armenia... When the fountain is working, I love it…read more During the day, it's generally pretty nice. Any other time, it's pretty scary. It's super well located. It's only a few blocks away from some bus stops and it requires quite a walk from the closest metro or train station, but the charm of this park is that it's surrounded by trendy restaurants of all kinds. And the area keeps growing, new businesses keep popping up, so this park is both an oasis of greenery and a meeting point. There's a tiny dog park inside, plenty of benches, a playground and a lovely fountain that works sometimes. When it does, it's simple but adorable (looks even better at night, with colored lights). Ah! There's a carousel as well. The thing is that, because it's surrounded by tourist traps and trendy restaurants, it can also attract a lot of dangerous elements. At night, I would recommend not circling the block by yourself, especially if it's a weekday. Costa Rica and Armenia street are pretty safe, but Malabia and specially Nicaragua, which is pretty dim, are not. Better safe than sorry! Just wait until morning. Having said that, I quite like it. I think it's improved over the years and it can still get even better. There's a fair/market thing during the weekends, which can be charming for those who like that kind of thing. Those who don't are gonna get irritated at the slow foot traffic and the push and shove of other pedestrians. It's really nice, and I like going there just to sit and look at the fountain while I'm waiting for a friend, even at night. I know it's a bit risky, but such is life.

This was the first park I ever had a beer in while in Argentina. Drank Quilmes with 2 dear…read morefriends , unfortunately this was the day that ex President Alfonsine had died. Great park for relaxing though .

Really well maintained and busy park in a very residential district. Lots of play areas for kids,…read morewater features and lots of open space for yoga classes etc. It is circular so you can do the path around it if you're looking for jogging/walking trails. The natural science museum is on the edge of the property towards the west and although we have not been there we hear great reviews about it and plan to go soon.

The water fountains are definitely the highlight of this huge park. The greenery is, unfortunately,…read moredivided by the highway that runs above it, and beneath it there's a cultural center. 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).
