Paseo de La Vega is Toledo’s primary urban park, serving as a historic promenade connecting the city's modern outskirts to the ancient Puerta de Bisagra. The park features a central boulevard lined with dense vegetation, providing a shaded pedestrian axis north of the historic old town. It incorporates formal gardens, decorative fountains, and several heritage structures, including the small 19th-century Hermitage of the Virgin of the Star. The park hosts the city's annual fairground activities and cultural events, making it a social hub for local residents. It is characterized by its wide, tree-lined walkways and a mixture of historic stonework and modern recreational areas. As of June 2026, the park remains open to the public and serves as the main green lung for the district of Santa Teresa.
