Fodor's Review:

Named for Chile's first president and national hero, whose troops were victorious against the Spanish, this park has plenty of open space for everything from ball games to military parades. Street vendors sell volantines (kites) outside the park year-round; high winds make September and early October the prime kite-flying season.
