The park was created on the site of the former Lo Errazuriz landfill, which was closed and capped as part of a significant urban environmental remediation effort.
Its construction was part of a broader municipal strategy to increase the amount of green space per capita in the densely populated Estación Central district.
The park's design incorporates slope management and soil stabilization techniques necessary for building safely over reclaimed land.
Parque Lo Errazuriz is a community-focused green space situated in the Estación Central commune of Santiago, Chile. The park occupies a former landfill site that underwent an extensive environmental reclamation project to transform it into a public recreational area. It features paved walkways, basic sporting facilities, and grassy zones designed for local residents. The site serves as an essential urban lung for the surrounding high-density residential neighborhoods. The layout prioritizes flat, open terrain suitable for walking and light outdoor exercise. It remains a functional, neighborhood-scale park rather than a tourist-centric destination.
The elevated sections of the park paths providing a panoramic view of the surrounding urban layout against the backdrop of the Andes.

Respect local residential quiet hours; keep noise levels moderate; dispose of all waste in designated bins to maintain the reclaimed environmental status.
