Castelar Park

Castelar Park (Parque de Castelar) is located in Badajoz, in Extremadura, Spain. Situated south of Guadiana River,[1] its features include tall palm trees and a central pond, frequented by ducks and pigeons; peacocks wander around the park. There are monuments dedicated to the romanticist writer Carolina Coronado, who lived in Badajoz, and to Luis Chamizo Trigueros,[2] who was born in Guareña. Although Castelar remained neglected for many years, it was renovated during the tenure of Mayor Miguel Angel Celdran Matute (1996-present), making it a venue for fairs, exhibitions, entertainment and leisure. Parque Infantil (Playground) is located across the street.
