The park's name refers to the iconic brick chimneys that once characterized the Elche shoe-manufacturing industry.
The preservation of the chimney acts as a monument to the labor history of the Carrús neighborhood.
The park is situated on an axis that links the residential high-density areas with the wider urban green network of Elche.
Las Chimeneas is a public park located in the Carrús district of Elche, built on the site of a former industrial area. The park derives its name from the prominent brick chimney stack preserved within its grounds, which serves as a remnant of the city's 20th-century industrial heritage. It features paved walkways, landscaped garden beds, and modern recreational infrastructure integrated into an urban environment. The site is a key green space for the local residential population, functioning primarily as a communal outdoor leisure area. It serves as a visual contrast between Elche’s historical palm groves and its industrial architectural evolution.
Directly at the base of the preserved brick chimney looking upwards to capture the structural detail against the sky.
Visit during the early evening to see the chimney illuminated against the twilight sky.
Bring a portable chair or mat if you plan on using the open-air plaza areas, as permanent bench seating can be occupied quickly.
Combine this visit with a walk through the nearby Palmeral to contrast industrial history with Elche's natural heritage.
Do not treat this as a large-scale botanical garden; it is a small, neighborhood-scale urban park.
