BOGOTA | Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera is a large public park located in Bogota’s Santa Fe neighbourhood. It opened in 1934 and named after former Colombian president Enrique Olaya Herrera, who led the country from 1930 to 1934. The popular park is home to many features including a small aviary, tennis and hockey courts, a skating rink, a football field, volleyball and basketball courts, a theater and a playground.
On weekends, there is often live street theatre to enjoy, and there are street vendors selling snacks, ice-cream, fruit, juice and more. The park is recognised for its diverse flora and fauna, and is a great place to see some of Colombia’s biodiversity without leaving the city. It’s a very central park, and next to the Pontifical Xavierian University, so is very busy and full of families, students, and people from all walks of life.
Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera provides visitors to Bogota a great way to while away some time and an oasis that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets that surround it.
