A little known but nice park. Specially great for photographing, as birds are very approachable, including very close, even if occasional Rață cu cap alb.
Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, Lup de mare atlantic, Corb de mare) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has Stârc cenușiu and Egretă mică, Pescăraș albastru and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of Lișiță, Corcodel mic and Găinușă de baltă, as well as hundreds of Rață mare (both wild and domestic). Also domestic Gâscă de vară and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Rață lingurar, Rață pestriță and Rață cu cap castaniu are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like Rață cu cap alb (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), Rață sulițar, Rață moțată, Rață roșie or Rață cu ciuf. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably Pescăruș mediteranean), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( Pescăruș sur, Pescăruș negru). The channel might ocasionally have Lișiță cucuiată, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 Rață cucuiată mică in 2021 and 1 Cocor mic in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering Rândunică. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like Potârniche cu picioare roșii or Acvilă mică.
You can access the park from anywhere inside Costa Ballena. To get to the urbanisation, simply follow Chipiona signs, incorporate into the A-491 and enter the urbanisation from there. Once you arrived, park on one of the many streets, and enter the park from there. Wheelchair users can follow the main path, as it is easy to travel.
The urbanisation and park might be crowded during summer, but they're almost empty in winter. Though spring and auttumn may give you some cool species, but those seasons are better spent elsewhere.
