The park is home to a specialized velodrome, making it one of the few public venues in Bogotá designed for professional and amateur cycling practice.
It falls under the jurisdiction of the IDRD, which maintains the park as part of the city's metropolitan network of recreational facilities.
The park is situated at an elevation of approximately 2,500 meters above sea level, which affects physical exertion during intense exercise.
The layout is designed to facilitate both high-intensity training for athletes and casual recreation for local families.
