[1] As part of the "Santiago integrated park system", located west of Parque de Los Reyes on the south bank of the Mapocho River, and it will be connected with the future "Parque Centenario de Quinta Normal" (Quinta Normal Centennial Park)[2] by the "Cicloparque Mapocho 42K" (“42k Mapocho Cycle Park”), a 42 kilometre cycle path and park that, when finished, will run along the Mapocho River.

The park bore the name of the Jesuit priest Father Renato Poblete (1924 - 2010), known for his efforts in the reconciliation process after the end of the Chilean dictatorship and the transition to democracy.

"Parque Brazo del Rio" (“River Branch Park”), with a surface area of 13 hectares, features a lagoon of calm water following the path of Mapocho River that will allow non-motorized water activities once opened.

Although it is located in Quinta Normal, it will benefit more than 750,000 residents of the communes of Santiago, Renca, Cerro Navia and Independencia.

Entrance to the park is free of charge and opens Tuesday through Sunday, with Monday closed for cleaning and maintenance works.
