Bustamante Park

[3] Bustamante Park has also become a popular location for outdoor entertainment, with the Providencia Theatre Festival held there annually.

Both the park and the avenue bordering it to the east take their name from José Antonio Bustamante, who fought in the battles of Chacabuco and Maipú.

This disappeared in 1894 to make way for a railway joining Santiago with Puente Alto, which was then otherwise isolated from the city, through Pirque railroad station (built facing Providencia Avenue between 1905 and 1911, today the location of Metro Baquedano).

[6][7] On December 27, 1947, at the northern end of the park towards Plaza Baquedano, the Monument to Manuel Rodríguez was installed.

[8] In May 2008, the project of the architect Germán Bannen was inaugurated; a two-story Literary Café "Café Literario" with a cafeteria, small library and reading spaces, as well as views of the park with a water mirror included.
