Entertainment in Lambaré, just south of Asunción, splits between Avenida Cacique Lambaré, home to Strike Bowling and the shopping arcades, and the riverfront: the Costanera Sur, Cerro Lambaré and the small Puerto Pabla beach. For a family day, add the central square, the Casa de la Cultura and Eco Parque Felicidad; for go-karts, the nearest public track is at the Karting Club Paraguayo grounds in Luque.
Bowling, malls and indoor plans
- Strike Bowling. The town's main bowling bar-restaurant, on Avenida Cacique Lambaré (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). It opened in 2021 with 20 lanes, its own kitchen and two bars (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)). In October 2026 it opened Tuesday to Sunday, 16:00 to midnight (Instagram (opens in a new tab)). Book lanes ahead for birthdays or a Friday group.
- Shopping Century Plaza. On the same avenue, with food outlets and parking for 250 cars, 130 of them covered (La Nación, 2022 (opens in a new tab); Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Your plan B for rain or heat.
- Paseo Cerro Alto. Another arcade on Cacique Lambaré (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab); Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)), handy for a quick bite with kids before or after bowling.
Costanera Sur and Cerro Lambaré at sunset
- Costanera Sur. An 8.1 km riverside avenue from Avenida Colón in Asunción to Cerro Lambaré, with wide sidewalks, a bike lane and a 1,000 m linear park with 13 food outlets, playgrounds, sand volleyball courts and an amphitheatre (Última Hora, 2024 (opens in a new tab)). It opened on 20 July 2024 (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)). Arrive an hour before sunset, walk or cycle, and bring water and repellent in summer.
- Cerro Lambaré and the Monumento a la Paz Victoriosa. The hill sits on the river in Asunción's Jukyty neighbourhood, right on the Lambaré boundary; the summit has a viewpoint with the monument, finished in 1982, and the statue of chief Lambaré, and visits have grown since the Costanera Sur opened (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Go in daylight: it was neglected and unsafe for years (ABC Color, 2022 (opens in a new tab)).
- Puerto Pabla municipal beach. A small beach on the Paraguay River, good for fishing and birdwatching (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Check municipal notices before swimming.
Square, culture and a park for a family day
- Plaza Central and Nuestra Señora del Rosario parish church. The square faces the oldest church in town; next to the town hall stands a black obelisk honouring local soldiers (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)).
- Casa de la Cultura Profesor Héctor Portillo. An old mansion turned museum behind the town hall (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)).
- Monumento a la Burrerita. Unveiled on 5 June 1987, it honours the women who carried goods by donkey (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)).
- Eco Parque Felicidad. An ecological park on the Lambaré stream with natural areas and sports courts (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Good for kids to run around.

A riverside splurge
The Yacht y Golf Club Paraguayo, a resort hotel with sports facilities and a private beach on the river (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)), is one of the town's best-known businesses (Infonegocios (opens in a new tab)); its listing mentions restaurants and poolside bars (Hotels.com (opens in a new tab)).

Getting around and timing
- From Asunción: the Costanera Sur gets you to Lambaré without Avenida Félix Bogado (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)).
- From Villa Elisa: Avenida Defensores del Chaco gets long jams (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)); allow extra time at rush hour.
- In heavy rain: the municipality has warned drivers off several Cacique Lambaré crossings, including Río Apa, Humaitá, Héroes del 70 and Juan Bautista Rivarola (ABC Color, 2023 (opens in a new tab)). Pick bowling or the mall that day.
- At night: order a ride-hailing car and wait indoors, especially around the hill or the riverfront.
