La Pastora Park is located at the foothills of La Silla mountain, next to la Silla River. It is one of the most dense wooded areas inside the metropolitan area. Created in 1982 as the first reserve park of native vegetation inside the city, it used to offer the visitors a natural space with great opportunities for recreation. Besides a wide program of activities, it offered direct access to La Silla river and held the largest native oak woodlands in the city. The park was closed in 1992 for administrative reasons.
After 20 years of abandonment and the assault of two hurricanes, the park shows severe damages in its infrastructure, but its natural system and vegetation remained almost intact.
The regeneration project, currently under construction, involves a recycling and transformation process of existing elements and spaces to receive new public, programs and activities and to be enjoyed by the new generations. Tha park will be connected to La Silla river lineal park and through it to the Rayados Stadium Park.
