Parque García Sanabria

Parque García Sanabria is an urban green space in central Santa Cruz featuring interconnected pathways, fountains, and gardens filled with subtropical vegetation. Sculptures and artworks are distributed throughout the grounds alongside seating areas, a children's playground, cafes, and a small cultural venue for performances and exhibitions.

The park opened in 1926 following the mayor's vision to create a public green space, building on an earlier proposal from 1881. During the 1970s, artworks were added to its landscape, shaping it into a space where nature and art coexist.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals walk, rest, and spend time with family in the shade of subtropical trees. The sculptures and artworks scattered throughout create spaces where visitors naturally pause and reflect on the blend of nature and art.

The park is easily accessible on foot and offers plenty of seating throughout for rest breaks and restroom facilities at several locations. The wide pathways are straightforward to navigate and shaded areas provide relief from the sun.

A floral clock imported from Switzerland sits near the central fountain, a 1958 gift from the Danish Consul that still displays fresh flowers throughout the year. This unusual timepiece makes the park a place where traditional craftsmanship meets botanical artistry in an unexpected way.
