Parque del Pilar has an area of almost 80,000 m², distributed between 16,420 m² of lawn, 3,768 m² of shrubby area and 250 m² of flower plant, the rest being living areas, sports areas, children's play areas and tree-lined walkways. . It also includes a lake with 13,000 m², which represents approximately 15% of the total area.
Its design, contemporary and with an open and functional structure, is the work of the architect Mr. Ramón Ruiz Valdepeñas. It is based on the lake that is in its center, which, as a central focus, finishes off the park in its southern and western areas, with the same singularity in its northern area being a construction in the form of a ship's keel from which two large jets of water. It also has a perimeter fountain and two wind turbines inside the lake that have an ornamental function and oxygenate its water.
This lake not only has as its object the ornament and the attenuation of the rigors of summer in the park, but it also serves as a great regulating deposit for its irrigation.

A park with an artificial lake. Very nice because of the relaxing sound of water. In past years it looks like this lake had rental boats or something similar. Now all abandoned. But still worth for a walk.
