History
It is located at the intersection of Alfredo Benavides and Caminos del Inca avenues. It was inaugurated in a 2001 ceremony with the presence of the King and Queen of Spain, during the administration of Mayor Carlos Dargent, so that a new Moorish Arch could be installed in memory of the one that was originally on Arequipa Avenue.
It is the only park in Lima with Moorish decorations, which added an aesthetic style inspired by the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, access to the park is free, the only thing that is charged is the climb to the arch. In its surroundings is the Augusto B. Leguía Cultural Centre, and within it the Casa de La Respuesta Museum, both dedicated to the memory of those who fell in the War of the Pacific.
The park also has among its objects of historical interest, two old locomotives from 1926 that remain in operation. The park area includes a small lagoon, swimming pools, gardens and a food court with local dishes.
