    We always go when they have the Tomodachi Fair, which is like the Comic Con of the V Region, but with green and free areas, a very beautiful space that makes you forget that it was a detention center, presumably there are still people within its walls. bad energies.

    I love this park, it's a relaxing place. With a very nice view of sea and the other hills of Valparaiso. You can find Art Exhibitions, and others Artistic Presentations. Also this park has a little piece of history, because in the past was a jailhouse.

    (Translated by Google) Great place !! To breathe and rest seeing the landscape of the hills of Valparaíso, a historical and cultural place, it seems better to me that they close at 20 hrs. And that more and more artistic activities keep coming. (Original) Gran lugar !! Para respirar y descansar viendo el paisaje de los cerros de Valparaíso, un lugar histórico y cultural, me parece mejor que cierren a las 20 hrs.

  • 3/5 Christian L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park with a prison museum and lots of activities

  • 4/5 Niamh Louise O. 6 years ago on Google
    Really amazing space with excellent exhibitions. The coffee shop is good too. One of the best views we found of Valparaiso and the harbour. Nice grass area to chill too.

  • 5/5 Julie Whelan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Architecture buffs and anyone interested in the history of Valparaíso would enjoy a stop here. Very well done repurposing of old jail that now contains a wide variety of spaces for cultural activities. Lots of different things going on here every day, including things like photography exhibits. There is a nice cafe and restaurant that I haven't tried yet but it is on my list.

  • 5/5 Allison K. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved this park. Tons of arts and exercise classes and well kept. Definitely a good use of an old prison.

  • 2/5 Djay61 2 years ago on Google
    Not really enthusiastic about the place. Contemporary live art. Nothing much remains about the old jail it has replaced....

  • 3/5 Phillipe C. 5 years ago on Google
    It's a nice place, but it needs a permanent museum or display

  • 4/5 Luca C. 7 years ago on Google
    Wonderfully landscaped contemporary grounds which afford great vistas to the rest of the city below.

  • 3/5 mexifrench_explore 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place if you wanna know a bit of history

  • 4/5 Aaron Mitchell (. 6 years ago on Google
    A nice little area to come to if you want some grass and reasonable peace and quiet. There are a lot of tourists here at times so it can actually be quite loud at times but you should be able to find a corner away from people if that's what you want. The views are pretty good here (overlooking the sea, boats and town) and there is also a theatre here and sometimes exhibition. Overall, there isn't too much to do here, but it's worth a visit if you'd like someone to come and not do very much.

  • 5/5 Tobi R. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of space and the ambient is very calm, i like the little monuments it has

  • 5/5 Tom S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool place, enjoyed the history and the art exhibitions. Was all free entry too.

  • 3/5 Aquiles G. 4 months ago on Google
    Is a great place to have a break and rest, it has some places with plants and it has a great atmosphere, it also has information about the place itself and the history of the place from the past. From time to time, there are some events of anime people, which for me, is not the greatest atmosphere and they usually leave the place pretty dirty.

  • 4/5 Kathryn M. 4 years ago on Google
    This is worth a visit if in Valparaiso! What they've done to transform the old prison is very unique and interesting. During our visit, it was nice to see many cultural activities taking place, mostly with younger people...music, dancing, yoga, indoor rock climbing, etc. Not a whole lot of other things happening here, but just a nice spot to view the city from and to see a landmark transformed.
