Parque de las Ciencias Luis A.

The park has varied attractions, among them is a natural observatory located at a height of 285 feet above sea level.  This park has an artificial lake and a beautiful activity room called “The Top”.

Education plays a major role in the Luis A. Ferre Park. That is why the public can enjoy a number of museums in the park that deal with issues on Archeology, Transportation, Trains, Art, Health, Astronomy and Natural Sciences.

On the edge of the historic river Bayamon, the park provides the public with an area that promotes health through physical activity.  It consists of a linear walk of two routes, one for pedestrians and another for bicycles. It starts at the road PR 177 and ends at the road PR 22, occupying an approximate length of 9.0 kilometers.

In order to ensure a safe and peaceful environment for users of the project and to residents of the surrounding areas, with the intention of protecting the environmental health, the municipal administration has banned the transport of all motorized equipment in these facilities.  A tour shows the visitor linear areas for passive recreation and areas for private activities.
