Impressive Park!
You may need the whole afternoon to get around it entirely as there are several activities and monument to see located in the park. I recommend renting a boat to admire Alfonso XII's monument, price is cheap and the experience is relaxing. Also, you may want to take a look at the "fuente del angel caido" which is one of among the only three representations of Lucifer in the whole world. The fountain is, for the anecdote, located 666 meters above sea level (according to a local guide we met).

Lovely Park Near High-End Shopping
My cousin and I decided we wanted to check out this park before heading to some high-end shopping (6 minute walk away) on our last day in Madrid, and bless that this was our plan! We went fairly early after we had breakfast, so we arrived there at about 10:30 am. While there were people already present walking around, there wasn't enough that we were bumping into anyone. There were even street musicians playing their saxophones, which just added to the ambiance. This is a gorgeous park with plenty of statues, fountains, and greenery that you could take several photoshoots and each one would give off a different vibe. If you have time, def check this place out!
