It occupies a site that once served as a railway transit zone before being converted into green space.
The park features a specialized skate park that is recognized as one of the largest and most technically equipped in the capital.
The name 'Reyes' references a historical moniker for the area, contrasting with the nearby urban industrial development.
Reyes Park, officially known as Parque de los Reyes, spans approximately 30 hectares along the Mapocho River in the Santiago commune. The park is a major urban linear green space designed to integrate cultural, sports, and recreational facilities. It features specialized areas including professional-grade skate parks, basketball courts, and soccer fields. The grounds house the Centro Experimental de Artes Visuales, a hub for local artistic expression and workshops. A dedicated memorial sector within the park commemorates significant historical figures and events. Its layout incorporates extensive pedestrian pathways connecting various sectors of the park. The location serves as a critical environmental corridor in the northern section of central Santiago. Landscaping includes mature native and introduced tree species that provide substantial canopy cover.
