The square is anchored by a significant equestrian monument dedicated to General José de San Martín, a pivotal figure in the Argentine War of Independence.
The park is colloquially referred to by locals as the 'Plaza de Morón' to distinguish it from other squares named after the Liberator in the region.
It sits adjacent to the historic site of the Nuestra Señora del Buen Viaje Cathedral, established in the late 18th century.
Plaza del Libertador General San Martin serves as the primary central park for the city of Morón in the Buenos Aires Province. The park features a permanent carousel, a network of pedestrian paths, and dedicated areas for artisanal craft stalls. It is situated directly opposite the Cathedral of Morón. Mature trees provide extensive canopy cover over the central seating areas. The park functions as a civic gathering space, often hosting local cultural events and municipal initiatives. It is managed under the jurisdiction of the Morón Municipality.
