Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park

Simón Bolivar Metropolitan Park is located in the center of Bogotá, Colombia and is surrounded by some of Bogotá's most important avenues. It is the largest park placed in an urban area.

It is formed by five minor parks. The Simon Bolivar, El Salitre, Parque de los Novios, Unidad Deportiva El Salitre and Jardín Botánico José Celestino Mutis. The system includes artificial lakes, an amusement park, aqua-park, Children's Museum and a coliseum.

The park has been the location for many important events like Metallica's, Roger Waters, Iron Maiden or the pope's visit. Each year Rock al parque is celebrated.
