We approach the Rome Park in the Estrella neighborhood to introduce you to a very interesting park that is widely used by its neighbors. It has about 20 hectares and is located next to the M-30, as a screen, which safeguards the neighborhood from the inconvenience caused by a communication route as widely used as the M-30.

It has large, well-wooded walks. It has 4 children's play areas, a garden of aromatic and tactile plants (designed for use by blind people), a lake and a climbing wall, for climbing. The climbing wall is usually very busy, it is 12 meters high and has a bouldering area, it is built of projected concrete on a metal structure. Very close passes the Odonell bike path.

The Park was inaugurated in 1980 with the presence of the president of the Italian Republic, Sandro Pertini, accompanied by the mayor of Madrid, Enrique Tierno Galvan.

It was designed in its day, by someone who was a councilor of the Madrid city council, in charge of urban planning, Eduardo Mangada. An important figure in the design of Madrid in the 80s both as an architect and urban planner, and for his participation as a councilor of Madrid first and a councilor of the Community of Madrid later.

In a nod to the relations between Spain and Rome, a larger reproduction of the taurobolio of Mérida, a sacrificial altar from the 2nd century of Roman times in Spain that is preserved in the national archaeological museum. In the copy, the original legend has been replaced by a carved inscription that remembers the inauguration ceremony.

A abrazo.
