Agustín Ross Park
park in Pichilemu, Chile
Agustín Ross Park is a park in Agustín Ross Avenue, in front of the old Ross Casino, in Pichilemu. It is a National Monument of Chile.
The original park boasts 100-year-old native Chilean palms (Phoenix canariensis) and many green spaces, and its recent restoration has made it into an attractive walking destination.[1][2] The majority of the grand houses in the park are in use as private homes.
Both the park and the former casino were named National Monuments on February 25, 1988.[3]
The Park was severely damaged after the 2010 Pichilemu earthquake, destroying all the balaustrades around the park.
