(from Google)A place where you can feed pigeons, get a beautiful view of part of the bay of San Juan and also get a coffee break. In the main entrance there is a kiosk where you can buy pigeon food for $3.00 and hang around feeding the pigeons while they walk or fly all around you. 😆 If you keep walking straight to the end, you will find a coffee shop with other alternatives things to drink and snack. And at the very end of it all there is a baby/kids playground. There are seating areas around the park to enjoy the moment.
Fun place to go visit with children. Entrance is free of charge. You can feed the pigeons for $2 each bag of food. There is a play area for little children towards the end of the park. Definitely fun and a must visit.
This park was built in the 18 century as a canon placement. The park is also home to numerous amount of pigeons. Not for the faint of heart they do not bite just want your time and food. Parque de las Palomas unique views San Juan Bay making it a must see spot while visiting this 500 year old city.
As advertised: a rustically charming park full of what else — PIGEONS! If you are afraid of getting dirty: pigeons landing on your arms, shoulders or head, and maybe even getting pooped on please stay away as you will be disappointed. These pigeons are probably the best fed pigeons I have ever seen. For $2 USD you can buy a bag of seed and experience what it feels like to be the pigeon-lady from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
After walking around del Morro we decided to walk downtown to look at some of the local shops and get a better feel for Old San Juan. We stumbled across the Parque de las Palomas, and it ended up being a really cool experience. The part is absolutely FULL of pigeons. Some of them are extremely unique, and they are everywhere. Roosting in the trees, in cubbies on the walls, even just laying down on the ground. What is even more amazing is how clean this area is. You would expect there to be bird poop everywhere, but it was super clean when we were there. There is plenty of places to stand or sit, and its a gorgeous area with great views of the bay behind it. Very cool place to check out while in Old San Juan!
