Parque Regional Sur

The confluence of the Saladillo Stream and the Parana River is linked to the origins of Rosario. In 1689, the natural appeal of this area led Captain Luis Romero de Pineda to settle there, after receiving from the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata the dominion of much of the land that the city now occupies.

The characteristics of the Saladillo Stream on the geography of this area are still outstanding. Its landscape is especially appreciated in the "Dr. Carlos Sylvestre Begnis" South Regional Park, a 35-hectare riverside premises with a varied vegetation, which is one of the most important green spaces in the city.
The park calls for strides along the stream and photos of the Quebradas del Saladillo Waterfall. There are several tree species, including rosewoods, cherry trees, pines, jacaranda trees, palos borrachos, ceibo trees, and colorful sakuras, donated by the Japanese Community in 1981. In the southernmost sector, there are training devices for cycling and running.
There is also the Nativity of the Lord Oratory, with a statue of the Virgin donated by Father Ignacio Peires.
The Regional South Park holds two traditional events in the neighborhood: the Festival de las Quebradas, and the San Pedro and San Pablo Bonfires.
