The park occupies the site where the former Casa de Gobierno (Governor's Residence) stood until it was demolished in 2007.
The space is intentionally designed with 'craters' or sunken levels that function as natural amphitheaters for public events.
It acts as a primary green transition zone connecting the historic Ciudad Universitaria with the dense residential architecture of Nueva Córdoba.
The water features in the park are part of a closed-circuit hydraulic system designed to manage urban runoff and provide a cooling effect.
Tejas Park, locally known as Parque de las Tejas, is a prominent urban green space located in the Nueva Córdoba district. It serves as a central hub for student life and local recreation due to its proximity to the National University of Córdoba. The landscape features tiered lawns, concrete walkways, and a series of water features that integrate with the surrounding urban architecture. It frequently hosts outdoor community events, open-air markets, and cultural gatherings. The park underwent a significant renovation in 2011 to revitalize the area previously occupied by the former governor's residence. A dedicated playground provides recreational facilities for families and young children. The park is characterized by its tiered topographical design, allowing for natural seating areas during social gatherings.
