Counted as one of the largest green expanses of Zaragoza, Parque del Tío Jorge is a scenic spot dotted with lush green trees, arresting monuments, fountains and a serene lake. The park is known for its imposing memorial dedicated to Uncle George, better known as the warrior of Siege of Zaragoza. The park also provides an ideal habitat to several bird species like chickadees, robins, jays and tawny owls. A sports court and a playground are also found inside the park.

This park is partly surrounded by Cuellar Avenue, and it leads from Sagasta Avenue to the Imperial Canal. In the middle of the park stands a statue in memory of Ramon Pignatelli (1734-1793), patron of the city, who was an engineer and vice-chancellor of the University of Zaragoza. Amongst his works he ordered the construction of the Imperial Canal, the bullring and the Casa Misericordia (Mercy House). The statue was built in 1859 by Antonio Palao. It was first located in Aragón Square and in 1904 it was moved to Pignatelli Park.

An ideal place in which to escape the noise and pollution caused by city traffic, this huge park offers many attractions. It has a landscaped garden area with fountains in addition to botanical gardens and a large wild area planted with pine trees. The central part that extends from the entrance to the main waterfall (Avenida San Sebastian) is an attractive combination of hedges, trees, ponds and French-style flowerbeds. It's worth stopping in one of the many pavement cafés for a drink and a rest. The park was built in the early 20th-century and named after the General who staged a coup in 1923 and then ruled Spain as a military dictator until 1930.

Nearly completely surrounded by water, or as the Spanish say, agua, the Parque del Agua Luis Buñel offers an enormous family-friendly sanctuary from the hubbub of city life. At the center of this verdant, tree-filled oasis stands the park's shining jewel, the Torre del Agua, which from a bird's-eye view resembles a drop of water.
