The Gloster Meteor displayed in the square was one of the first jet fighters used by the Argentine Air Force.
Ciudad Jardín, where the plaza is located, was designed with a garden city urban planning model, influencing the layout of the square.
The plaza is often referred to locally as 'Plaza del Avión' due to the permanently mounted aircraft.
The aircraft was refurbished by local volunteers and aviation enthusiasts to maintain its structural integrity.
Plaza de los Aviadores serves as a local landmark in Ciudad Jardín Lomas de Palomar, defined by the prominent installation of a decommissioned Gloster Meteor jet. The park functions as a community hub, integrating a green space with periodic market stalls and artisanal vendors. The square honors the historic connection between the neighborhood and the nearby El Palomar military airbase. It is a central meeting point for residents, featuring paved walkways surrounding the central aviation monument. The site maintains its historical role in commemorating Argentina's aviation history within an urban residential setting.
The direct front angle of the Gloster Meteor jet allows for the most distinct framing of the monument.
Visit during weekend afternoons when the artisanal market stalls are most active.
Check the local community social media pages for dates of neighborhood events or craft fairs held in the plaza.
Combine your visit with a walk through the surrounding neighborhood to see the unique mid-century residential architecture.
Do not attempt to climb on the aircraft, as it is a preserved monument and climbing is prohibited.
Market stall activity is generally limited to weekends and public holidays.
