The park was developed as part of an urban revitalization initiative to reclaim public space alongside the railway line.
The site acts as a critical 'green lung' for the El Palomar neighborhood, significantly increasing the ratio of public green space per inhabitant.
The corridor design prioritizes accessibility for residents, effectively reducing the distance to recreational facilities for those living in the immediate vicinity.
Corredor Derqui is a linear urban park located in El Palomar that repurposes a formerly underutilized railway-adjacent strip into a public green space. The park serves as a central recreational hub for the local neighborhood, featuring paved pathways designed for walking, jogging, and cycling. It integrates dedicated fitness stations and playgrounds, facilitating physical activity for residents of all ages. The design emphasizes community connectivity by linking various residential blocks through a continuous pedestrian route. Native landscaping elements are interspersed throughout the park to provide urban greenery within the dense residential landscape of the Morón district.
