Parque Pedro Albizu Campos

Parque Pedro Albizu Campos is a public park in Ponce with walking paths and benches located at the intersection of three streets. The approximately five-acre space provides a quiet place to walk and rest within the city.

The park was established in 1991 to honor Pedro Albizu Campos, a Harvard Law School graduate who led the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party from 1930 to 1965. The space was later expanded to include a memorial recognizing significant moments connected to the nationalist movement.

The central bronze statue shows Pedro Albizu Campos and his role in Puerto Rico's independence movement. The space functions as a place where visitors can reflect on this historical struggle through the visual presence of the monument.

The park is open daily and free to visit, located conveniently near Rio Bucana for easy navigation. Its position on Calle Pedro Albizu Campos makes it simple to find and reach by walking from nearby streets.

Twelve vertical stones on the grounds display names and death dates of people who died in a 1937 incident, including Rafael Soto Moreno and America Rivera Jimenez. These memorial stones make visible names that might otherwise be forgotten.
