Flower clock
The park's floral clock was manufactured in Switzerland by Favag and was a gift from the Consul of Denmark to the island of Tenerife in 1958.
The flower clock is flanked by two staircases behind which is the central fountain. It is characterized by constantly being planted with flowers throughout the year.
