1550 Avenida Doctor Tristán Achával RodríguezStunning park along the river with a great trail for running or walking. You don't often get to see the river while in BA. From here, you can see how immense it is. Uruguay is on the other side.
Beautiful botanical gardens right in the center of the city. The statues throughout are excellent and the cats awesome.
