Parque del Este

The Parque del Este (In English: "East Park"), renamed officially as Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Park by President Hugo Chávez in honor of the Venezuelan national hero, is a public recreation park located in the Sucre Municipality of Metropolitan Caracas, Venezuela. Inaugurated in 1961, it is one of the most important of the city, with an area of 82 hectares (200 acres). The park was designed by a society formed by world renowned Brazilian landscape artist Roberto Burle Marx, Chilean landscape architect Fernando Tábora Pena and English-Venezuelan landscape architect John Godfrey William Stoddart. The park is located just outside the Miranda station (formerly Parque del Este), on Line 1 of the Caracas Metro. The East Park is managed and supervised by the National Parks Institute (INPARQUES), an agency under the Ministry of Popular Power for the Environment. The park combines three differently designed areas: the first is an open grass field with a gentle undulating topography, the second is a densely forested landscape with meandering pathways, while the third is a series of paved gardens with tiled murals and water works.
