Summit Municipal Park, Wildlife rescue and botanical garden in Ancón, Panama.
The park spans 250 hectares of land, featuring botanical gardens, rescue facilities, and housing approximately 300 different animal species in central Panama.
The Panama Canal Company established the park in 1923 as Experimental Farm Summit to study how various plant species would adapt to Panama's tropical climate.
The facility maintains a special section dedicated to the harpy eagle, the national bird of Panama, contributing to local wildlife education programs.
Located one hour from Panama City, the park includes walking trails, picnic areas, educational programs, and designated spaces for observing native wildlife.
Through its experimental farm program, the park introduced teak trees to the American continent, marking a significant botanical achievement.
