At the time of designing the park, we have tried to respect as much as possible its natural configuration, the pre-existing trees such as the pine forest of 15,000 square meters and those with the highest environmental value. To these copies have been added 150 tipuanas and 50 jacarandas.

The park is endowed with a road of around one kilometer to circulate with a bicycle; and another for the practice of 'running' of about 1,500 meters. Both roden the green zone, like the road of walk, to which are added the paths that connect the different areas and facilities of the park to add two kilometers in length.
