Parque 2 De Febrero - City Park Resistencia - Argentina

Parque 2 de Febrero is a shady public space with plenty of facilities for all kinds of recreation. If you are craving a BBQ, buy some meat and beer and join the locals cooking up a feast. With luck, you might even be able to get some local Argentine cooking tips about how to make the best asado. After some food, take a dip in the public pool, play some volleyball or kick around the old fútbol.
