Overview

Casa de Campo La Reina is a recreational facility managed by the Carabineros de Chile police force located in the foothills of the Andes. The park provides large outdoor green spaces, sports facilities, and picnic areas integrated into a semi-rural landscape. It is situated at the base of the Quebrada de Macul, benefiting from the immediate proximity to mountain air and hiking trails. The grounds serve primarily as a social and recreational hub for police personnel and their families, though it remains a notable landmark in the La Reina commune for its preservation of natural vegetation. The site features varied topography that transitions from flat recreational fields to the steeper slopes of the Precordillera.
