Los Dominicos Park[1] is a public park located at the end of Apoquindo Avenue in Santiago, Chile. The park is an access point for the Santiago municipalities of Las Condes, Vitacura and Lo Barnechea and also provides access to some parts of the municipality of La Reina. It is the site of a permanent crafts market at Los Dominicos Village, a popular tourist destination, as well as a regular local food market and Los Dominicos metro station, part of the Santiago Metro network.
The park is named after the nearby San Vicente Ferrer church, which formerly belonged to the Dominican Order and is commonly known as “Iglesia de los Dominicos” (Church of the Dominicans). The same name is used for Los Dominicos street, which leads up to the park from the south west, and Los Dominicos Metro station, which sits opposite its western edge.
