Villa del Parque is a barrio (neighbourhood) or district within the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Its name translates as Village of the Park and was derived from its earliest beginnings, when several haciendas were all that existed, alongside a growing agricultural park in this section of Buenos Aires Province. Nowadays Villa del Parque is a middle clases suburban neighbourhood, though with a central area in Cuenca street with many shops.
