Parque Urquiza (Rosario)
The Parque Urquiza is a public urban park in Rosario, Argentina. It is located in the southeastern end of the city center, on top of the Paraná River ravines. It is bordered by 3 de Febrero St., the coastal Belgrano Avenue, Chacabuco St. and the beginning of Pellegrini Avenue. Its name is an homage to General Justo José [de Urquiza], President of the Argentine Confederation from 1854 to 1860.
The park hosts an open-air stage, the Municipal Astronomic Complex, a large bas-relief called The Sower, a monument to General Urquiza, and the former Rosario station of the Ferrocarril Oeste Santafesino, as well as a fountain, a number of sculptures, sports fields and recreation areas.
