The Park Gulliver is in the old riverbed of the Turia River. The vast attraction represents the protagonist of the story Gulliver's Travels on his arrival in Lilliput, a famous work by Jonathan Swift. It is one of the best-known places to visit with children in Valencia. In the giant Gulliver, lying on the ground and immobilised with ropes, children can dream that they are Lilliputians jumping down the slides and ramps, and thus have a fun time outdoors in one of the greenest areas of the city of Valencia.

This figure represents Gulliver (based on the novel by Jonathan Swift ("Gulliver's Travels"), specifically in the scene in which Gulliver is captured and tied up by the inhabitants of Lilliput). The children who play around him would be the Lilliputians from Swift's tale. The different parts of Gulliver's body and his clothes are slides and ladders for children and often for the adults who take their little ones there. There is no age limit to enjoy this park.
Gulliver Park
The Gulliver Park is located within the so-called Garden of the Turia. It is a green area 6 kilometres long, in the centre of Valencia, which corresponds to the old course of the Turia river. The designer Sento Lobell, Fallas artist Manolo Martín, and architect Rafael Rivera collaborated on the creation of Gulliver Park.
