So let’s start with our list of the most fun parks for children in the Community of Madrid. We start with a park situated in the capital itself, the Parque de la Cuña Verde de la Latina, also known as the Cerro de la Mica. It is a large green park with fantastic viewpoints, from where you can have amazing views of Madrid. The park has many facilities for children, such as a children’s area with boat-shaped swings, a sports area that include a climbing wall, and there is also a bike route, where you can hop on your bicycle for a fun ride. You can also visit the three rose gardens. When they are in full bloom, they turn the park into a beautiful place and it has several water features. One of the best parks in Madrid to take your children is located in the district of Vallecas. It is the Cerro del Tío Pío, also called Parque de las 7 Tetas.
