Zumalde Park: a place to enjoy with the family in the Alava Mountains - arabaturismo

On the outskirts of Maeztu, among oak trees, rivers, and historic villages, you will find one of those places where you can disconnect and have a good time: the Zumalde Municipal Park. A recreational area designed for relaxation, play, and socializing, it has become one of the most recommended places for families visiting the Alava Mountains.

If you are looking for a place to spend the day outdoors, with amenities, nature, and a safe environment, this park has it all.

A natural space designed for everyone

Located on the banks of the Ega River and very close to the main road, Zumalde Municipal Park combines the tranquility of the natural environment with the convenience of having everything you need for a family day out. The park is surrounded by trees that provide shade in summer, and its layout allows young and old alike to enjoy themselves without feeling overwhelmed.

What's more, its location makes it the perfect stop whether you're cycling along the Vasco-Navarro Greenway or exploring the nearby heritage sites such as the Izki Natural Park, the church in Maeztu or the mining landscapes in general.

What you'll find at Zumalde Park

Zumalde is not just a park: it's a small outdoor leisure village. Its main attractions include:

• 🏀 Sports areas: it has a basketball court, soccer field, and even a tennis court. Ideal for those who can't leave the ball at home.

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Rest areas: benches, lawns and shaded areas where you can sit and chat, read or share a picnic.

• 💦 Swimming pools: with changing rooms, hot showers and a children's area. A refreshing plan for hot days. (Open from June 13).

• 🚸 Playground: where the little ones can play in complete safety.

All this in a well-maintained and managed environment that combines the best of family leisure with respect for the natural environment.

An ideal plan for summer... and for the whole year

Although the swimming pools and water activities are the main attraction in summer, Zumalde is also a perfect place to visit in other seasons. In spring and autumn, the colors of the surrounding forest invite you to take a stroll, and in winter it becomes a meeting point for those seeking peace and quiet and fresh air.

What's more, as it is very close to Maeztu, it is easy to combine your visit with a meal in the village, a short walk or a cultural visit to some of the region's highlights.

A place with character

In a region where mines, tunnels, villages, and trails are part of the landscape, Zumalde is a place where time stands still, where kids run around without worrying about the clock, and adults can just relax. There aren't many places like this in the Alava Mountains, which is why people who discover it always come back.
