Simón Bolvar Metropolitan Park

The Simón Bolvar Metropolitan Park, sometimes known as Simón Bolvar Park, is a greenspace, entertainment, and sports complex in the heart of Bogotá, Colombia. The park, regarded as Bogota's largest and most important park, attracts millions of tourists each year due to the variety of activities available. The park is named after Simón Bolvar, a Latin American liberator. The park is operated by the District Institute of Recreation and Sport and is located in the Teusaquillo neighborhood.

Simón Bolvar Metropolitan Park includes a lake where visitors can rent paddle boats. It also contains wide open green areas, a cicloruta (bike route), playgrounds, extensive parking places, and a highly popular events arena, which is known for hosting festivals such as Rock al Parque and major national and international performances.

There is a Eucharistic temple that was inaugurated in 1968 during the visit of His Holiness John Paul II, as well as tree planting projects that took place between 1981 and 1984. Some modifications implemented between 1986 and 1993 are part of the ongoing efforts to establish the park as a local tourism attraction.
