Description

The Arboretum is a natural area located at the entrance to Nindirí. Surrounded by large trees that provide shade to the playground, benches and food kiosks that are within, the site is visited by families, friends and lovers, who come to enjoy its cool and quiet environment.

The benches are located on roads made of concrete where you can take walks. Each seat is decorated in a different color and is very common to find young students talking after school.

The swings are distributed near the benches, so that parents can watch their children while they are playing. Besides these games, there are a couple of slides where children can use their imagination and distracted themselves from the routine.

In the center of this park there is a kiosk where they sell food and drinks during daylight hours.

To enjoy a more active afternoon, you can go to the bottom of the Arboretum, where there is a basketball court, where you can also play football. This court has wooden and iron boards and possesses lights to play at night. These fields are used by local youths at certain times of day, but most of the time are not being used, so the visitor can take his/her ball and play the sport he/she want.

This place is also perfect for taking pictures of nature or people, as many young people can be seen chatting on benches or you can see parents with their children playing on swings or slides.

The Arboretum was once a small nursery garden, but with the lack of maintenance the trees grew and this space clean, sandy, safe and equipped for the enjoyment of locals and visitors was created.
