The Río Piedras Tennis Club is located here. They open everyday and offer classes. Located adjacent to the park are a basketball court and a soccer/field hockey field.

Beachside service from the Doubletree was a nice touch, though be prepared to wait - the server has to take orders and then drive back to the hotel to fill them. The water was warm and totally swimable, though the rip tide might be a little strong for smaller children.

I excpect a park named The Park of the Indian to have more than what I saw instantly.

Single and double ceramic seats adorn the grounds and access to the sand and beach are well, right at your feet. There were a small group of people practicing Tai Chi, a part of the recreation area was playground with odd, interactive, life-size fixtures and minimal displays again of el "Indio".

The famous El Yunque - rainforest! Great place for people of all hiking experiences and ones with…read morefamilies. A guided hike for sights and scenes with options to create your own adventure. Here was our experience. EXPERIENCE: Parking: As usually advised, come early. This is no hidden gem so this picks up fast. Other alternatives is carpooling or arrange a tour. Depends on where you stop, but parking fills up FAST. Come early if you want the better trail access and less stress. Visitor access is managed largely because of parking limitations Vibes: The feelings from the temperature and energy changes. One night we were partying the streets of Santurce, next we we're in this chill and calm quiet area. There are paved scenic stops, short walking trails, and engaging areas such as waterfalls and river areas. You really can make it as adventurous as you want. OVERALL: 5 Stars. What's there to hate about this place? Maybe it can get super crowded but aside from that, it's a beautiful Puerto Rico experience. Whether you want waterfalls, hikes, scenic drives, or just to disconnect for a few hours, this place delivers. After that, you're not too far away from Luquillo Beach! Tips: * Go EARLY for parking and lighter crowds * Bring water shoes or shoes you don't mind getting muddy

Review #1,050 Posted on 5.1.26…read more We came to hike the Mt Britton trail at El Yunque on Friday the 24th of April. This was one of the better experiences of our trip, it was awesome up there. The parking is a bit tricky, honestly if I had to do it over again, I probably would've just parked a tad sooner then walked up more, but if you do that, it's a lot more time & walking/energy spent. The drive to those areas to park/hike is super scenic. You've got tons of green, and sounds of birds all around you, we rolled our windows down and soaked it all in. We parked pretty close to where the trail to hike Mt Britton begins, and it took us about 40 minutes to get to the castle, when you make it to the castle for sure go inside and walk the staircase to the top/roof. The views are awesome up there and you get some good photo opps. I would 100% make sure to do this again next time we visit.

As a lighthouse snob, I was initially displeased with the idea of a lighthouse being located in a…read morekid-friendly park. However, it works in this instance. It helps that the lighthouse is located on a hill which distances it from the replicas of pirate ships, huts, and caves. There's plenty to love and hate about this park. I went to the park on a Tuesday, I did not see any other guests while I was there. This may be why there was no one available to collect my admission at the entrance for about 15 minutes. Another staff member sat on his cart waiting at the entrance and appeared to radio for help. This would have been okay except I really needed a restroom pit stop after the drive. The admissions clerk spoke English which was not necessary but helpful. There are restrooms by the lighthouse and by the cafe. The bathroom was clean, but there was no soap. Since there were no other customers, I was able to just relax for over an hour just taking in the ocean views and enjoying the breeze. For solo female travelers during the week, this feels safer than some of the isolated beaches nearby (I could just be overcautious). The lighthouse appears to be well-kept. The small museum was open inside the lighthouse, but there wasn't an option to climb the lighthouse. Not sure if they offer this option on the weekends though. I mainly stopped for the lighthouse, but since I was there, I checked the rest of the park out. The area with the huts was cool and provided historical info. However, the cave could use some major improvement. It's almost too dark. If it's going to be that dark, the signs with historical info need to be illuminated properly. The fish tanks need cleaning!!! Also, only one door was open. When I reached the end of the cave, that door was locked. This seems like a fire hazard. Two exits need to be open whenever the exhibit is open. Just imagine the chaos that could ensure on busier days when families are there and there is a fire or emergency. The cave, the "gift shop," and the long wait for admission to be collected caused the loss of 2 stars. I do love that the lighthouse is well maintained since it is in this park especially since 6 out of 15 lighthouses in PR are in dire need of restoration. Although it gets a 3 star rating, I would definitely return for just the ocean views and the lighthouse.

Tuvimos una súper linda tarde mi abuelita y yo comiendo y disfrutando de la naturaleza! Vimos las mariposas y aves que tenían bien guardadas y preservadas. Nos montamos en el teleférico para subir y para bajar en su divertido tractor y guagua con aire. El estacionamiento lo están arreglando bien bonito abajo antes de entrar a La Marquesa, en donde te llevan en guaguita con aire hasta allá arriba. Dentro de todo, lo recomiendo mucho para familias o personas como yo queriendo pasar un ratito sano con un ser querido tan grande como una abuelita! ¡Muchas Gracias! - PS. Pregunté si puede traer su propia silla de rueda! _______________________________________________________ As I stated above in Spanish, I went to "La Marquesa" in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico with my grandma yesterday around noon! The sun was shinning and everything looked beautiful (pictures attached from nature!) We had a great evening my grandmother and I! We ate and we soaked up the sun, surrounded by nature! We saw the butterflies and all of the different birds they had! They were super taken care of. Their habitat was beautiful! We then got on the cable car to go up the mountains and the view was amazing! We then went down the mountain on a fun tractor, good for kids, families, and the elderly (if able to walk with minimal assistance). They took us back to the parking lot, which they are fixing very nicely! Overall, the experience was GREAT! Good for adventurous families, single, or couples, wanting to do something nice and spend some time with family! Like I did with my 82 year old grandmother. Thank you! - PS. Ask about wheelchair accessibility!

You can tell you are there because there is a light, if you turn left it's into the beach area and paid parking ($5). Or turn left and you can park on the street for free. We walked across the whole park and explored, took pictures, ran from chickens (well roosters), etc. If you go later in the week there is a restaurant that is open (Wed - Sat or Thurs - Sat). That would have a pretty cool view and is in a pretty old historic building. On the way back we walked across the civilian bridge towards the beach. The second we got on the bridge we got cooled off because the beach breeze made it that far. Walked back along the beach and had some additional photo opps. Keep this in mind, the heat of the day it does get warm. It's easy, relatively flat walking, but hot non the less. Take some water so you don't get over heated. We'd recommend this as part of your stay in San Juan if you like exploring historical type locations.

O-kay... Well,…read morewhether you slip, hit your head and hallucinate because you *chose* to skate during bad weather through a 1/2 inch of rain; OOORR you simply safely stroll around looking for a nice spot to take your kids to, just know this park is one of the oldest in the island, and a nice, old-school way to kill time. But as is the case with beaches in Puerto Rico, avoid it during very late afternoon and night time unless there's a special event of some sort. There's an awesome nearby hamburger joint, creatively called "El Hamburger" :-P where you can have the best cheap burger afterwards. Or perhaps go to Old San Juan or Condado, which are both less than 10 minutes away by car. ---------------------------------------En Puertorro, ahora------------------------------------ Bueno, definitivamente no es muy buena idea escoger patinar cuando está lloviendo a cántaros, en este parque o donde sea... Pero este parque es muy lindo y una buena alternativa para hacer algo activo y fuera de la casa, sea solo, ejercitando acompañado o con niños, ya que hay áreas de recreo específicamente para niños. Por supuesto, como en todo parque y playa en Puerto Rico, no es recomendable estar ahí en la noche, para evitar robos o situaciones lamentables, salvo que hubiera algún evento especial en que haya mucha gente, claro. Cerca de ahí, como a 5 minutos, hay un sitio de hamburguesas que se llama "El Hamburger", y es muy bueno. Otra alternativa después-de es Condado o el Viejo San Juan, ya que quedan como a 10 minutos en carro desde el parque. :-)
