The park covers a long, narrow strip of reclaimed land specifically reclaimed to prevent river flooding and increase public coastal access.
It is part of the larger 'Reserva Natural del Puerto de Olivos' conservation corridor nearby.
The park's layout was significantly redesigned in the early 2000s to transform abandoned industrial riverfront land into public green space.
The local municipality hosts frequent large-scale open-air cultural and musical events on the main lawns.
Paseo de la Costa is a sprawling riverside park situated along the banks of the Río de la Plata in Vicente López, Buenos Aires. The park features expansive green spaces, paved pathways for cycling and skating, and dedicated areas for outdoor recreation. It serves as a major recreational hub for local residents, providing direct pedestrian access to the water's edge. The terrain includes manicured lawns, native landscaping, and various sports facilities scattered throughout the waterfront stretch. Significant infrastructure improvements have modernized the walking trails and lighting in recent years. The park is characterized by its wide-angle views of the river and the urban skyline in the distance. It is designed to accommodate high volumes of weekend visitors through large open areas.
