Dora Colón Clavell Urban Park, Urban park in Barrio Primero, Ponce, Puerto Rico
Dora Colón Clavell Urban Park is a landscaped green space in Ponce with walking paths, shaded gardens, and a central stage for outdoor events. The grounds sit at the intersection of Marina and Jobos Streets and provide ample room for strolling and gathering.
The park opened in December 1995 on the former grounds of Hospital Damas. This conversion transformed an important medical facility into a public gathering space for the community.
The Mudéjar-style bandstand recalls a structure from 1882 and hosts regular performances by the Ponce Municipal Band every Sunday. This building shapes the park's cultural life and draws visitors who want to experience local musical traditions.
The park features an underground parking garage for vehicles, ideal for visitors arriving by car. A tourist police station on the upper level provides security and assistance for guests.
The park is named after Dora Colón Clavell, the mother of a former Puerto Rico governor, carrying an important family legacy tied to island history. This connection gives the space special historical significance for visitors interested in learning about local figures.
