"Garcia Sanabria" Municipal Park is a real botanical garden where plants are combined with walks, fountains, stand bands and sculptures, making it the "lungs of Santa Cruz", the ideal place for leisure and rest of citizens.
The contemporary sculptures of the park where brought from the 1st International Exhibition of Sculptures in the Street, held in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in December 1973 and January 1974.
The main idea of this exhibition was to do a sample for the "enjoyment of the bystander." Thus, the citizen came across with three-dimensional objects, an "in and for the street "exhibition and without space limitations.
In the Parque García Sanabria, species of native canarian flowers have been planted as well as other exotic species from other continents, from countries of tropical and sub-tropical climate, therefore, it is "unofficially" considered the city's botanical garden.
