The park has had a bad reputation of being a place for [[prostitutes]], most of whom are not Spanish and imported for the sex trade.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/todaysfeatures/2006/February/todaysfeatures_February49.xml§ion=todaysfeatures |title="Europe's brothel" Spain seeks solutions to prostitution |work=Khaleej Times |date=2006-02-25 |accessdate=2012-08-30 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060810114345/http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data%2Ftodaysfeatures%2F2006%2FFebruary%2Ftodaysfeatures_February49.xml§ion=todaysfeatures |archivedate=2006-08-10 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/32306 |title=African Women Being Sold Into European ''Sex Slavery'' |publisher=Digitaljournal.com |date=2001-03-14 |accessdate=2012-08-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Giles |last=Tremlett |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/feb/28/gilestremlett |title=African women tricked into sex slavery in Spain |work=The Guardian |date= 2001-02-28|accessdate=2012-08-30 |location=London}}</ref> However, Madrid's chief prosecutor has denied the police authority to enforce a more modest dress code, despite complaints about sex workers wearing little clothing.<ref>{{cite web|last=Boulware |first=Jack |url=http://www.salon.com/2000/07/05/madrid_2/ |title=Hookers at the playground |work=Salon.com |date=2000-07-05 |accessdate=2012-08-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/55578633.html?dids=55578633:55578633&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jun+28%2C+2000&author=Reuters&pub=Chicago+Tribune&desc=MADRID+PROSTITUTES+CLEARED+TO+DRESS+DOWN&pqatl=google |title=Madrid Prostitutes Cleared To Dress Down |publisher=Pqasb.pqarchiver.com |date=2000-06-28 |accessdate=2012-08-30}}</ref> Due to the park's size, there are still problems but the volume is a lot less with different enforcement measures in place and the rerouting of commuter traffic outside of the park.
Nowadays, the park is mainly visited by families to spend the day, [[cyclist]]s or [[hiking|hikers]], as there are many routes to explore the forest.
==Natural values==
The natural vegetation of the Casa de Campo is the [[holm oak]] forest, accompanied by bushes, especially the [[broom]]. However, throughout its history it has undergone a constant transformation, settling [[farmland]] in some periods and repopulating in others with different tree species alien to the place, especially [[pinus pinea|stone pines]] and [[cypress]] trees but also others such as [[poplars]], chestnut trees, plane trees, ash trees, oaks or willows. In the year 2002, in the woodland inventory, 686,294 specimens were registered.
In [[2000]], 18 trees or groups of them were classified as ''Singular Trees''. They are marked with wooden signs that describe their special characteristics.
In the Casa de Campo, 134 different species of vertebrates have been registered (87 of birds, 21 of mammals, 14 of reptiles, six of amphibians and others as fish). Many of these animals, as in other parks, are used to the presence of human beings, and in many cases they accept the food that is offered to them.
