Concordia Park

Concordia Park (Parque de la Concordia) is a small, quiet green space in Logroño, the capital of La Rioja, sitting right on the bank of the Ebro River. It forms the eastern, more intimate section of the wider Ebro Park complex (Conjunto de parques del Ebro) — the first large green area the city ever gained. Concordia itself is only a fragment of that riverside band of greenery, but it's exactly the kind of spot where you feel why locals value the river so much.

How do you get to Concordia Park?

The park sits within easy walking distance of central Logroño — just head toward the Ebro and follow the riverside promenade. The landmark to look for is the fourth bridge over the river: the park corridor stretches on from there until it reaches the small Concordia area. The route is flat, paved for both walkers and cyclists, and comfortable enough for families with strollers or anyone who prefers an easy stroll. No car is needed — walking along the river is part of the experience, not just the way to get there.

What will you see once you're there?

Concordia Park is a densely planted green pocket dominated by chestnut and hazel trees, while the neighboring stretches of the wider Ebro Park complex add poplars, willows and pines, forming one of the oldest and most extensive wooded zones in the city. Marked paths are well suited to slow walks, jogging or cycling, and the open lawns are popular with families and dog owners. Don't expect built attractions or visitor facilities here — the appeal is the quiet, the greenery and the closeness to the water, not any particular landmark.

The larger complex that Concordia belongs to was built through the 1990s and opened in 1993, covering roughly 150,000 square meters along the Ebro, running from the eastern side of the city to a river dam near the old stone bridge. Before that, this strip of land between the city and the river had stayed largely untouched, since Logroño historically grew with its back turned to the Ebro. The park reversed that pattern, giving the city its first proper riverside recreation ground.

When is the best time to visit?

Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable conditions for a walk, with mild temperatures and gentler sun that make longer visits easy. In summer, early morning or evening hours work best — the trees provide shade and the riverside air cools down, and sunsets over the Ebro here are frequently praised by visitors. After heavy rain the ground can get muddy and puddles tend to collect, so it's worth checking conditions before heading out on a wet day.

Who is this park for?

Concordia Park suits anyone looking for a break from the bustle of central Logroño — families with children, runners, cyclists and dog walkers alike. It also makes a natural stop if you're planning a longer walk through the full Ebro Park complex rather than just this one corner of it.
