Plaza Villa Selknam

Plaza Villa Selknam is a neighborhood square built for actual residents, not tourists passing through. The playground equipment spans ages, there's a freshly renovated multiuse court, and the visual identity pulls from Selknam Indigenous design and color - a deliberate choice in a city that erased that history. Across the street, Panadería San Cristóbal makes shrimp and cheese empanadas locals genuinely argue over. The catch: the plaza sits in a state of chronic neglect. Broken glass, accumulated trash, and dirt are the baseline condition, not a bad week. You can visit if you come with neighborhood-square expectations, not park maintenance ones. Bring shoes for the kids and keep them on.
