Here are some photos of Parque La Carolina, a large park near where I’m staying. I wasn’t surprised to see many people enjoying the park on Christmas, since it was a beautiful day. I was surprised to see landscapers working there on the holiday.
I can’t explain the airplane. The climbing structure in the center photo is described on a sign as a “raposa,” which a dictionary says means a fox, but based on the sign describing it as the only marsupial native to South America, I presume it’s an opossum.
There are also a whole slew of playing fields for soccer, basketball, volleyball and tennis, as well as a running track.
