Explore Parque de Pradolongo, a spacious green park in Usera away from the tourist centre. Walk around the lake, find the waterfall on the brook, and trace the botanical route through the arboretum.
Full description
Parque de Pradolongo is a large landscaped park in the Usera district, built around a lake and a brook with a small waterfall. Jogging paths and green spaces make it a peaceful setting for a long walk, while a botanical route and an arboretum add interest for plant lovers, and there is also a playground.
Reviewers see it as most rewarding for people living in Madrid who want to explore beyond the centre, with some saying that visitors on a short trip will find more impressive parks closer to downtown. It is free and open around the clock.

Reviews
A decent park if you live nearby or live in Madrid long-term and want to explore. For tourists I wouldn't recommend it as there are more impressive parks closer to the center of Madrid.
