Nice little park in Old San Juan. Buy a $1 bag of corn to feed to feed the hundreds of pigeons. Great photos and fun pigeons will land on your head and arms. Everyone seemed to gave fun here.

We stopped in this park area to watch the Pidgeon man covered with birds while feeding many more on the ground. The park was created in the 1800s.

Although it may be difficult to find public parking nearby, it is not impossible . However, in some nearby streets you can park and enjoy the ride without problems.
