Enrique Tierno Galván Park, better known to everyone as Tierno Galván Park, is one of the largest in Madrid, covering more than 40 hectares. An impressive setting that, since 1987, has offered Madrid residents a place for relaxation and outdoor sports—and one that today cannot be discussed without mentioning its connection to culture.
This iconic urban park is located in the Legazpi neighborhood, part of the Arganzuela district. Getting there is easy thanks to its proximity to the major Méndez Álvaro Station and the many buses that serve the area, such as the 102, 148, and 152. There’s also the Arganzuela-Planetario metro stop, so there are no excuses!

Facts, trivia, and interesting things about Tierno Galván Park
1. It was originally going to be called “Planetarium Park”
Enrique Tierno Galván was the one who planted the first tree in this park, which—due to the construction of the astronomical observatory within it—was originally going to be called Planetarium Park. Sadly, the legendary mayor passed away a year later, which is why the city of Madrid chose to change the name as a beautiful tribute to him.
2. It’s one of the parks in Madrid with the best panoramic views
Its elevation of 600 meters in the area known as Cerro de la Plata makes this vast green space one of the best places to watch beautiful sunsets, as well as offering a great panoramic view of the southeastern part of the city.
3. Madrid’s iconic Planetarium is located within the park
As we mentioned earlier, the Madrid Planetarium was built within Tierno Galván Park. Today, this amazing space dedicated to astronomy, astrophysics, and related sciences remains open, offering exhibitions, workshops, screenings, and activities such as stargazing.
4. It features an incredible amphitheater-style auditorium
Its large open-air auditorium welcomes thousands of spectators in the summer who come for the best concerts and festivals, such as Brunch Electronik or Candlelight. A modern, amphitheater-shaped venue with grass-covered bleachers that leaves no one indifferent.
