    The “Lungs of Bogota”. This is an incredible park and an amazing place to visit. Full of great biking and walking trails and a small lake that is perfect for kayaking, you MUST visit the Parque Simon Bolivar to complete your Bogota experience. However, be warned that many outpost employees will try and cheat you into paying for bathroom use. Bathrooms are FREE in the park, but some workers who staff food stands will guard the entrance and demand payment to use the lavatory. Other than that, there are plenty of great vendors and food options available in the park with an excellent environment. Drones are typically prohibited, but are allowed with proper licensing.

    This is large public park. I went on Sunday and it was crowded. There are several street food stalls. Several people walk, cycle or do picnic.

    Simon Bolivar Metropolitan Park, at 988 acres (roughly 140 acres larger than NY's Central Park) features several mini parks for children. In them you will find fun structures and padded areas for play, which are well maintained. For kids, this park is large enough to feel like a different world within the bustle of the city. For adults, it is a gorgeous and pleasant natural haven. Best time to go is early in the morning. Except for Sundays, the park remains sparcely populated from 6am until midday. Make sure to get off the main walking paths and explore. There are great trails for biking, open spaces to relax, and fun little nooks throughout.

    Nice big beautiful part. Perfect place to go on a picnic or a family walk on a beautiful day. I only walked outside the vicinity of the park as I felt very tired after visiting the botanical garden. Definitely worth a visit when you’re in Bogotá just to get away from the hectic crowds

    Review for February 2019. Parque metropolitano Simon Bolivar is located in cundinamarca Bogota Colombia. It is a very large Park and they are so many activities to do here. I saw many cyclists, many joggers and definitely lots of families walking with their kids and pets. Very family-oriented atmosphere. You can also rent paddle boats and take a ride down the enormous Lake in the center of this park. There's also lots of food you can come and enjoy. The coffee in Columbia is second to none. But they also have other food like arepa, masorca, and Colombian ice cream. I'm not guilty, to say that I absolutely enjoy nature and Parks. I truly did have a wonderful time here. Special thanks to my good Colombian friend Anyela.

    Absolutely stunning massive park. This park is absolutely gigantic and has essentially everything you could want in a park. The paved walking paths are fantastic. There are multiple playgrounds and spots for kids to play around. There are also many beaches and places for adults to relax and workout. Overall a fantastic park that you could easily spend hours in!

    Lush green huge park, lake view, boating and so many play areas and open gyms. Best to go with big groups and kids will love to play. Kite flying is main activity to do here. You get so many colorful kites outside the park.

    Great place to share some time with the family!! Lots of kiddies parks, lots of space, and great for a picnic, away from the chaos

  • 5/5 Jade 3 years ago on Google
    Good park to stretch your legs, heavy security presence. Reminded me of Hyde park. Not all entrances are open, maybe it’s due to covid concern? The securities are friendly, pointed me to the correct exit!

    This is a huge park, with great common areas. It has different areas to practice sports or activities. Long distance jogging road, skate park, tennis field, rolling blade field, squash, long football field and soon it's gonna have an Olympic pool. Great park.

    The city central park It's a natural park with a extensive green field and a central lake. In parallel to this, the entrance is free and some internal attractions have costs. In one hand you might find several activities from collectives, institutions or just some individuals. However, you can stay aside of this. Finally, you can use bicycle, your feet or a vehicle two-wheeled. Be careful with your stuff, it's a public zone and it's not exclude from robbers.

    A beautiful oasis in the middle of a metropolis, Simon Bolivar is a place to go to relax with family and people watch. Bring your kids. Bring your dog. Bring your bicycle. Bring your musical instrument. All are welcome.

  • 4/5 Mauricio R. 2 months ago on Google • 49 reviews New
    Good place to come in family, couples or alone (and pet friendly) to have some nature contact right in the middle of the city. It has a long brick road that stretches around the entire park, smaller playgrounds for kids, a pet playground, a lake in the center with some pedal boats to ride, a running/jogging trail (in red clay), a MBT trail (in white clay) and an event area where sometimes there are concerts scheduled. On the weekends and holidays it can be very crowded, and food/drinks in the park can be expensive in comparison to buying outside the park. Also, parking spaces are limited.

    What a spot! Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park is like a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city chaos. The lagoon, the trees, the views – everything's just perfect for a chill day out. And can we talk about how clean the air is? It's like a spa for your lungs. Loved every moment here, definitely coming back for more peace and serenity!

    It has a beautiful park in the heart of the city. The best free music festival are playing there, and it's not so far of the airport and transportation terminal area, and connected with 30av an Chapinero neighborhood too. It's the perfect place to enjoy the trees and the lake, without going out of the city Really peacefully place. 🌳🐿️💚

  • 1/5 edith r. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The guards do nothing if the people inside the park do not use the mask properly, wearing it around the neck is enough, unfortunate. (Original) Los vigilantes no hacen nada si las personas dentro del parque no usan el tapabocas adecuadamente, con llevarlo en el cuello es suficiente, lamentable.

    Awesome space to relax, I recommend visiting during the week because on Sunday it is very crowded. You can read, set up you tent for the day and have a picnic with the family. There is a lot of space for fun!

  • 5/5 Delly Yadira J. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is really amazing for playing, walking, running and training. You can also use your bike because there are specific trails for that. There is also a lake in which you can bow. I don't remember the cost, but it is not expensive.

  • 5/5 Richard P. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great park in the city with nice trails and options and good vendors even on a non-weekend and non-holiday. My wife said it is swarming with picnics and kids playing and couples walking on the weekends but fewer on a Thursday. I said we must visit one of those times. Pausing for coffee or a fruit cup or just sunning on a bench quietly were all enjoyable. It was fun for my wife to feed the carp and koi by spillway. Paddle boats will be our next adventure in the park. Looking forward to many more visits

    Beautiful park with a lot of stuff to do. It has football fields, picnic spots, basketball fields... It has probably the biggest skatepark in all Bogotá and maybe Colombia, it's amazing. There are a lot of skilled people practicing pretty much at any time of the day so if you don't practice yourself, you can always go and watch (hoping for a spectacular crash hahaha) There is no entry fee, but it's quite far, ay the edge of the city, the zone is safe, especially at the opening hours of the park! There are always some vendors outside, selling ice cream, empanadas and so on... Highly recommended!
