Ciudad de los Niños y las Niñas is a 4-hectare children's park (45,000 m²) that opened in 2007 with more than 30 play structures, some designed with Córdoba's monuments as models — the Volcano-Mezquita climbing frame being the most distinctive. The park is fully accessible for children with disabilities.

Equipment for Every Age
Slides of different heights, interactive musical features, sand zones, balance activities, and the popular 'El Río' water zone — busy from late spring through summer. A skateboard and roller rink, supervised by specialist monitors, caters to older children and teenagers. All equipment meets European safety standards.
The water zone runs from May through September and is one of the few free water play areas in Córdoba. On hot summer afternoons, it becomes a practical way to keep children comfortable in temperatures that regularly exceed 35°C. Parents can sit under the shade structures nearby while children cycle through the water features.
The water zone from May to September is the best free way to cool kids down
El Río water play area runs from May through September and is free. On hot summer afternoons above 35°C, it's the most practical option for families. Bring swimwear and a towel — there are no changing facilities but the shade structures nearby let parents sit comfortably.
A Fully Inclusive Park
The park was designed from the outset with universal accessibility in mind. Ground surfaces are flat throughout. Play equipment accommodates children with motor, sensory, or cognitive disabilities. Tactile and sound-based features let visually impaired children use the park independently. The design has been referenced in Spanish planning guidance on inclusive public leisure, and the park receives regular visits from school groups with mixed-ability classes.
