Plantations of eucalyptus, gingko, palm and subtropical hardwoods cover Paseo del Bosque, parkland expropriated from an estancia at the time of the city’s founding. It attracts a collection of strolling families, smooching lovers and sweaty joggers, and contains various interesting sights: a small lake with paddleboats for rent, an observatory, the modest Jardín Zoológico , the open-air Teatro Martín Fierro , which hosts music and drama performances; and the star attraction, Museo de La Plata .
