The park was specifically designed to replicate the native Chaco forest ecosystem found in the Córdoba province.
It is part of a larger green corridor initiative aimed at connecting urban spaces with the periphery of the Sierras Chicas.
The park's name, 'Autóctono', refers to the autochthonous, or native, species that are preserved within its borders.
The location utilizes native xerophytic vegetation, which is highly adapted to the semiarid climate of the region.
Autóctono Park, situated in the northwestern sector of Córdoba, is a regional park dedicated to the conservation of native Argentine flora and fauna. The site functions as an open-air ecological space showcasing the distinct plant species of the central Sierras of Córdoba. It serves as an educational bridge between urban infrastructure and the natural environment of the provincial landscape. The layout emphasizes environmental interpretation, allowing visitors to walk through zones populated by endemic trees and shrubs. As of July 2026, the park remains a public green space managed by local authorities to promote regional biodiversity. It functions primarily as a recreational and pedagogical hub for locals and visitors interested in the local ecosystem.
