Located west of downtown San Jose, the 72-hectare park is a significant green space in the city, where locals can play sports, fly kites, walk, or participate in outdoor aerobics classes.

Central Valey Area
The Central Valley's ideal climate is a blessing in a country that can be drudgingly hot, especially during summer months. It's high plateau offers an escape from Guanacaste's hot summers and the Caribbean's sticky humidity. Conversely, life in the city is more hectic, which discourages visitors who prefer a relaxing beach or secluded natural reserve.
Most visitors spend a very short time in the Central Valley -typically two days max- before moving on to the country's more popular destinations. However, other visitors often commute from the Central Valley to attractions in the surrounding highlands, where active volcanoes (Poas and Irazu) and the Braulio Carrillo National Park are the highlights. San Jose's transportation services allow for cheap and efficient travel to and from any of the surrounding areas. Visitors can make it back to the city in time to catch a movie or dine at one of the city's great restaurants.
