The park's name refers to the massive brick chimneys preserved from the old 'Cerámica Antioquia' factory that once occupied the site.
The industrial structures were saved and repurposed to transform a polluted industrial plot into a public ecological and recreational asset.
The site covers approximately 20,000 square meters of urban space.
The water jet displays are synchronized with lighting systems to provide night-time illumination.
The park serves as a formal entry point or 'landmark' marking the northern border between the municipalities of Itagüí and Medellín.
Parque de las Chimeneas is a significant urban recreational space located at the northern gateway of Itagüí, adjacent to the Medellín metropolitan area. The park is defined by its iconic industrial chimneys, which are remnants of the site's history as a former brick and tile manufacturing facility. The design integrates modern landscape architecture with historical preservation, featuring extensive open plazas and walking paths. A primary feature of the park is its lighted water fountain system, which serves as a central attraction during evening hours. The grounds include dedicated recreational infrastructure for exercise and leisure activities. It acts as a major green lung for the densely populated industrial zone of Santa Maria II. The space regularly hosts community events and cultural gatherings for local residents.

Visit during the early evening to experience the fountain lighting when it is most visible.
Bring comfortable walking shoes, as the park features a significant amount of paved, open-air walking space with limited natural shade.
The area is highly visible from major roadways, making it a convenient stop for a short walk if traveling between Medellín and Itagüí.
Avoid visiting during the hottest midday hours as there is limited canopy shade across the central plazas.
