    If you are a fan of the panama canal and its history, you should go visit this monument to the gentleman who finished building the canal for the Americans. It sits in a beautiful park just below the current panama canal administration building.

    Open to public, easy parking. Monument dedicated to the third and primary chief US Engineer charged with building the Canal. Located at the bottom of hill where the Canal commission bldg is located. At the end is John Steven's circle, commemorating the second US engineer for the Canal. He only lasted 2yrs before Goethals took over. It's located near the former Albrook AFB and Albrook Mall located on the other side of the former Albrook runway, which today is used for locate private planes.

    Its a monument at the bottom of the Panama Canal Administration Builing, it's nothing "wow" but a peaceful place, and if you go up the ladders you'll have a nice view of the America's Bridge and Balboa Port.

    Great area to go see and learn the history of the Panama Canal. Not only do you learn of the people who inspired the modern marvel that it is. Learn the names of those who helped engineer this grand feat. Also, can see the old governor mansion building behind the statue. Nice area for family pictures.

    Neat monument related to the vicinity of the Panama Canal. The three waterfalls on each side of the fountain symbolically represent the number of older lock lifts at the Pacific side and the Atlantic. The three sets of stairs also symbolically represent the lock lifts and the ACP building at the top of the stairs was purposely built at the same elevation as Gatun Lake.
