La Sabana Metropolitan Park, Metropolitan park in San José, Costa Rica
The 72-hectare green space features a lake, sports fields, running tracks, and wooded areas within the urban center of San José.
The land was donated by parish priest Manuel Antonio Chapuí, and the space served as San José's international airport from 1940 to 1955.
The Costa Rican Art Museum, housed in the former airport terminal building, displays national artworks and hosts exhibitions throughout the year.
The park remains open every day without entrance fees, offering facilities for running, skating, tennis, and various outdoor sports activities.
The park underwent a transformation in 2019 with the planting of thousands of trees, converting the previously sparse landscape into a forested environment.
