It is a nice park. Lots of kids and teenagers playing soccer. Also lots of joggers. Felt quite safe as there were several police officers on motorcycles and in vehicles patrolling the park. My wife…Full review by David A

La Sabana is a decent size park in San Jose. I would agree that it is well worn but it does serve a purpose and lots of football fields, cycling, walking etc. lots of damaged seats.Full review by StephenCr0ss

This is a large park frequented on weekends by the local community. It seems to have seen better days and has been hurt by the recent drought. Not a must see but we stayed near here.Full review by TomCost
Is it possible to rent roller skates at Parque La Sabana? And if so, is it obvious where to go? How about for renting the pedal boats?
A:
Hi, I did not see anywhere to rent skateboards but there are a large number of pedal boats to rent. We did not as it was far too hot when we were there.
I am interested in taking the family to La Sabana. I saw pictures of paddle boats and horses. Is there a fee to participate ? Thanks in Advance Dennis

The park is a public one in the city and a very popular place for local families to picnic, play soccer etc - there is no entry fee. It’s a great local culture experience. However there are vendors selling food and offering horse rides, paddle boats etc. especially on weekends or holidays.
Hi there! Around what time did you go for your morning walk/run? I'm trying to figure out from what time on it would be safe for a girl to go running there. I run 5 times a week and am moving to Costa Rica (San José) soon and can't imagine not being able to run anymore! Would be so happy if the park is 'safe' already in the morning.. What do you think?

Parts of the year I start at 5:30AM Because we are so close to the Equator we only get about 45 minutes difference of day light hours. So right now in Jan I usually try to get to the park about 6:00AM. Another reason like to get there early is I get my choice of parking so I can chose a shady tree to park under. Also do your best to stay off the cement sidewalks. As you probably know constant jogging on cement is not good for your back or knees. The park is about 3.5k just stay right inside the sidewalk, there is for the most part, a decent grass trail... Welcome to Costa Rica. As we say Pura Vida...
