A Look Back: Park History
Early 2000s Events
In November 2008, the WWF held a special event at the park. Volunteers came together to plant trees, helping to make the park greener. Also in 2009, a special area called the Bosque de la Memoria (Forest of Memory) was created.
Recent Times: 2020s
After being closed for a while due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ñu Guasú Park happily reopened its doors on April 5, 2021. This allowed people to come back and enjoy the park safely once again.
