Chico Park

I went with my dad to Chico park and i enjoy it a lot there were a lot of kids playing around jumping screaming it remind me of when i was a 6 year old boy and i went every sunday with my sister. This is a great park because it is like a castle and is really big, it has a library a museum  a lot of slides,swings and it have a lot of water sources with some fishes on them. I didnt knew anything about the park history so i went to the museum and asked the guide about the park, she told me the park was founded in 1964, it belonged to Mercedes Sierra de Perez she was Pepe sierra daughter, i asked her why the park looked like a castle and she told me that it was because Mercedes husband was invalid and they couldnt have kids so they traveled around the world to find a cure for him and she really liked a castle named Alambra that is located in Granada, España and she wanted to recreat it. I also asked her why the oark was full of water sources and she told me that it was because of the name of the park, Chico that was originally Chicu that in Muisca meant our ally and chicu was the name of a pond but spanish called it Chico  she decided to cannal it  in her garden with this water sources. As she couldnt have any kids she decided  to give the space to the kids so it became a park who has a lot of space and theres a museum in wich was her house this park is perfect for picnics and events like weddings and birthday partys so if you dont know were to take your kids Chico is a great place come and have a great day.
