Minerva

The Minerva Park features an open space with gardens, sports facilities, and a central fountain decorated with bronze frogs at its border.

The park gained prominence during President Manuel Estrada Cabrera's administration when he ordered the construction of a temple dedicated to Minerva in the early 1900s.

The park serves as a venue for the Jocotenango fair and numerous community gatherings, maintaining its role as a social center for local residents.

Visitors can access multiple recreational areas including a football field, baseball diamond, swimming pools, and a children's playground with railway circuit.

The park contains artificial lagoons with mermaid statues and rows of cypress trees that were planted to create natural wind barriers.
