Ferrera Park is an English-style public park located in the centre of Avilés. For centuries, it was the land that the different marquises owned for their enjoyment at the back of the Ferrera Palace; but in the second half of the 20th century it was the target of arduous negotiations between the city council and its owners in order to turn it into a public space that would finally be inaugurated by King Juan Carlos I on 19th May 1976.

It has four entrance gates and also a passageway built to join it to the Municipal House of Culture, as the park houses the old Aviles newspaper library.

This property belonged to the Marquisate of Ferrera since the 15th century, although it was not until the middle of the 17th century with the construction of the palace that it was adapted with the aim of transforming it into English-style gardens that housed the stables and also served as a place of recreation for this illustrious Avilesian family.

It also includes a French-style garden with several fountains in the area closest to the mansion, planned at the request of the Marquise so that she could stroll in peace and quiet with her servants nearby.

It is equipped with plenty of rest furniture, as well as signposted and technically equipped areas for sporting exercise, consisting of a signposted running circuit that includes gymnastic apparatus. It also offers visitors the chance to listen to concerts on Sundays at the bandstand or to visit the Municipal House of Culture.

During the festival of the bun, declared to be of National and International Tourist Interest, it is common to find the site completely full of people celebrating the well-known street food which brings together different generations of Avilesinos in this wooded area, and where it is common to eat "bollos preñados" accompanied by cider. It is also worth mentioning that on occasions there are art exhibitions around the perimeter of the park, and you can enjoy the wifi network belonging to the town council at no cost to the user.
