About this place Parque de Dona Casilda (cruising)

Parque de Dona Casilda Iturrizar, the large landscaped park beside the Fine Arts Museum in central Bilbao, has a long-standing reputation as a night-time gay cruising area, mainly around the quieter paths and the pond and pergola after dark. This is an ambiguous, tolerated rather than official use of the space, and the park is busy with families by day. Exercise caution at night, be discreet and respect other visitors. Spain protects LGBTQ+ people in law.

Lovely park that is free to visit. Lots of space so easy to find a quiet spot or nice to just wander round. Well cared for area with a dog exercise area, children’s playground, a small lake and nice planting.

It is the largest park in Bilbao. A huge pond with many ducks and swans forms the center. There are sculptures and monuments in several places. The Museum of Fine Arts is also located here. It is pleasant to stay here and you can lie on the wooden deckchairs. For the kids there is a large playground.

Perfect place to be on an unusually warm day in Bilbao. The spray from one of the fountains provided a refreshing relief.

A very pleasant park with water features. It is located in a modern part of the city and provides some refuge from all of the traffic. We liked the fountains.

Casilda Iturrizar parkea is a beautiful park and the main one of the city. It is named after Casilda Iturrizar, a 19th century figure who donated the land to the city. The park is a lovely space of green, with several sculptures, ponds, fountains and wildlife, such as ducks. It has several other features as well which make it an ideal place to go for a walk and a relaxing time.

English-style park created in 1907. It is the work of architect Ricardo Bastida and engineer Juan de Eguiraun. The land was given by Casilda Iturrizar, and from there it takes its name.

Not an absolute must in Bilbao, but a pleasant park to walk around in. Here you take some beautiful pictures without much effort.
