Araucano Park
Pdte. Riesco 5877, Las Condes, Región Metropolitana
Urban park with rose gardens and food trucks, built on a football club's abandoned stadium plan.
This guide to Araucano Park in Santiago follows a football club's failed gamble on this exact plot of land. In the early 1970s, Club Universidad de Chile swapped for the site, then known as the Fundo San Luis, and sold two of its own players to help pay for a home stadium, with construction due to start in September 1973. Club president Emilio Torrealba pushed the deal through with the help of a government official and an architect who were both fans of the club.
