As the name implies, this is a park where you will see doves and pigeons. However, there are also green parrots, chickens and ducks too. And besides the birds, there is also a rabbit or two running about, and a pen where they keep goats, which, according to a notice, are a Spanish indigenous breed.
There used to be more animals. But during the Covid-19 pandemic, the park was closed for a year and when they opened again, the animals were no more there.
Besides the birds and animals, two other features of interest in the park are the cactus gardens at the top end of the park, and the man-made pond at the lower end of the park.
The man-made pond is home to turtles, ducks, fishes... There used to be a pair of swans. But they are not there anymore. The pond is said to be only two feet deep.
According to their website, the cactus garden has over 400 species of cacti and succulents.
There is also a bamboo garden.
Some plants and flowers in the park. Pomegrenade trees
Some kind of lily flowers. The leaves look worn, but the flowers are beautiful. In some places, they simply strip the leaves off the plant leaving the beautiful flowers.
I don’t know what these are.
Goats. They are of Spanish indigenous breed.
Pigeons. If you bring some crumbs with you, you can feed them. You will have them following you around. They keep the children entertained.

Lots of open spaces for people to have a picnic, especially on a hot summer weekend.
The Parque de la Paloma, or Park of the Doves in Benalmadena is a big park, and very family friendly. There are cafes for you to take a break, have a drink or a snack. There are children’s playgrounds, and large open areas for you to have a picnic.
