Amós Acero park

Amós Acero park is a municipal park in the Vallecas district of Madrid, one of the neighborhood green spaces serving residents of this part of the city. The park's name commemorates Amós Acero, a historical figure tied to Vallecas from the period when the area was still an independent municipality, before it was absorbed into Madrid.

Where exactly is it located?

The park sits in the eastern part of Madrid, within the Vallecas district — one of the capital's larger and more densely populated areas, known for its residential character and the many small green spaces scattered among its apartment blocks. Its coordinates place it at roughly 40.3888°N, -3.6659°W, right in the middle of Vallecas's typical residential fabric, away from Madrid's main tourist core.

How to get there?

Given its location in Vallecas, the most convenient way to reach the park is by public transport — the district is well connected to central Madrid by metro lines and city bus routes serving the area. It's worth planning the journey ahead of time and checking current connections, since the park is not near the main tourist trail but sits in an ordinary residential neighborhood.

What should you know before visiting?

The park keeps fairly specific and clearly defined opening hours, unlike many open, freely accessible city squares — a sign that the grounds are fenced or otherwise managed by the local authorities. In practice, this means a visit needs to be timed to the published schedule rather than assuming free access at any hour.

Standard opening hours run Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 20:30, and Saturday from 9:30 to 13:00. In August, a shortened summer schedule applies: Monday to Friday 8:30–14:30 and Saturday 9:30–13:00 — a typical Madrid adjustment for public facilities during the holiday month. The park is closed on public holidays, as well as on December 24 and 25, and on January 1 and 6 — covering the Christmas and Epiphany period. Sundays are not listed in the standard schedule, so it's worth confirming on site or by phone before planning a visit on that day.

Who is this park for?

Given its character and location, Amós Acero park works best as a spot for everyday relaxation for Vallecas residents and for visitors exploring this part of Madrid off the usual tourist route. It's a good option for travelers who want to see an authentic, less touristy district of the Spanish capital and take a break from the crowds in the city center.
