Etxebarria Park

Etxebarria Park occupies a sloping hillside in the Begoña district, on the site of the former Echevarría steelworks, and is the largest green space in Bilbao. At its centre rises the old factory's chimney, preserved as a reminder of the industrial past and visible from several points in the city. Its elevated position gives views of the Casco Viejo, Abando and the estuary. Since the 2023 remodelling it has a lake, water features and new trees, as well as children's areas, a skate park, sports courts, a botanical trail and sun loungers. At the end of August, during Aste Nagusia, the park fills with fairground stalls, churro stands, rides and shows, and the festival fireworks are launched from it.
