The park is situated on reclaimed land along the coastline of the Río de la Plata, the widest river in the world.

The location provides a panoramic view of the river that separates Argentina from Uruguay.
Parque del Río in Villa Dominico is a significant riverside recreational space located on the banks of the Río de la Plata in the Avellaneda district. The park is characterized by its extensive green spaces and direct access to the coastal ecosystem of the estuary. It serves as a municipal hub for local biodiversity, featuring native flora representative of the Buenos Aires shoreline. Visitors utilize the area for passive recreation, walking, and observing the riparian landscape. The site is part of the larger Avellaneda coastal regeneration efforts intended to reconnect the urban population with the waterfront. Infrastructure includes paved pedestrian paths and designated zones for communal gatherings. The terrain is flat and largely open, facilitating views of the river horizon. As of June 2026, the area remains an active municipal park maintained by the Avellaneda local government.
