The park was designed to replicate the layout of European squares, specifically influenced by the town's original developer's vision for a high-end summer retreat.
It sits at the heart of Adrogué, which was one of the first planned garden cities in Argentina.
The central fountain and statue complex was imported from France in the late 19th century.
The square is flanked by the original municipal building of the Almirante Brown district.
Plaza de Las Palmeras, also known as Plaza Esteban Adrogué, serves as the historic center of Adrogué, a town noted for its early 20th-century residential architecture. The park features a radial layout centered around a prominent bronze fountain, a gift from the town's founder, Esteban Adrogué. Its landscape is dominated by mature palm trees and manicured lawns that frame the surrounding administrative and historic buildings. The plaza functions as the main social hub for the Almirante Brown district. It is surrounded by cobblestone streets and antique street lamps that evoke the town's original English-inspired design. The site remains a focal point for local civic events and communal gatherings.
