The park contains an extensive ramp system and concrete obstacles specifically designed for skateboarding and BMX.
It is connected to the city's broader 'Green Ring' (Anillo Verde), a planned series of interconnected parks surrounding Oviedo.
Parque de Invierno is a expansive recreational green space in Oviedo, Asturias, acting as the primary hub for the city's Senda Verde (Green Path) network. The park is characterized by its hilly topography and integrated sports infrastructure, including a prominent skatepark and extensive paved circuits for cycling. It serves as a vital corridor connecting urban Oviedo to the surrounding rural landscapes of the Nalón basin. The area features diverse vegetation zones and open meadows designed for multifunctional outdoor use. Cyclists can access long-distance routes starting directly from the park's central paths. It functions as a central node for local residents engaging in cardiovascular exercise and leisure activities. The design maximizes natural topography to separate high-activity sports zones from quieter walking trails.
The elevated viewing points along the central path that offer a panoramic view of the park against the Oviedo skyline.
