What a beautiful park! I’m am so impressed by all of the statues of Dominican heroes and it beautifully ends, Calle Conde (famous street in the Colonial Zone for shopping and eating). Would recommend to anyone on your tour.

Place to visit. Lot to see and learn

Great tall monument from where you have a 360 view overlooking the city. A nice place to visit if you come over Santiago. Full of nice bars and restaurants nearby to enjoy the day.

Nice, clean, well kept. Good to view.

There was not too much to see, I noticed a lot of homeless people and other guys looking to link up for things that I was not interested in. There was a police presence on the Main Street directing traffic and also writing tickets. The uniform guard made for good pictures to take while I was there on a relaxing hot day. Would I recommend visiting? Sure, it is a place to see in Santo Domingo. Just be mindful of your surroundings and know where you're at and pay attention.

Independance Park is at the entrance to the Old Town. The small plaza in the centre of Santo Domingo can be entered via the Puerte del Conde which is very photogenic. There is several memorial statues to national heroes and seems to always be peaceful. This is definetly a nice area to visit for tourists or just to relax. So when you are visiting the oldest city in the Americas make it one of the places to go to, you will not be disappointed.

There is nothing special at this place. But anyway, if you are walking around these old streets, you can visit it. When you come out the other side of the main entrance, it feels like you are somewhere in the New York Jamaica station)

We spent quite some time in this park, being tired from our trip to the Dominican Republic. I really enjoyed that there are many places to sit and it's a clean, green area which is quite central in the city.

Great place to meet beautiful people, so some shopping, and take great photos

History of some heroes, (bust statues) and at the point of my visit the walk around pool was empty.... The arch entrance is a nice shot for some pictures...

Nice historic park at the end of the Zona Colonial.

A quiet park in a busy city displaying the independence movement. A lot of concrete and could be cleaner.

Ein sehr schöner Ort zum verweilen. Im Schatten auf einer Bank sitzen und den Straßenmusikern zuhören einfach entspannt sein

Nice park, with busts of past leaders of the country also a striking mausoleum featuring three of the most prominent

When I first came here, I had not thought of Christopher Columbus in ......30 or 40 years. Santo Domingo, and the Dominican Republic has preserved this area incredibly well. All of Americas, North, Central, and South, owe you thanks!

Nice old building and opposite the mausoleum. Good place for some relaxing time.

Saint Dominic in general has very nice interesting sights.

Beautiful park, very spacious with great monuments and history commemorating the independence of the Dominican republic

What was once a beautiful corner of the Dominican Republic is now just a run down building situated on Playa Rincon. Food is still served but sadly in an environment littered with garbage. No longer a paradise just another natural environment badly abused by its local residents who are just intent on ripping of anyone who visits.

We like to see some parks where to have a room for a break. This one showed a need for some beautynes treatment, but should be preserved for man as relaxing green ground.

Great place to take photos, people watch and on weekends usually filled with music or activities. After a bit of shopping, great place to relax your feet. Keep watch for the birds if you are seating under any tree

Nice exposition of history. Somehow it needs more shadows and maybe some water to hidrate people and cool the plaza.

Great for history of DR

The Independence Park is just after the Puerta del Conde old Spanish gate in the very center of SD. DR had a turbulent history having to fight for its freedom several times against both, Spain and Haiti. This park is a tribute to heroes who led the resistance and fought against Haiti.

I came expecting to see something worthwhile. I was extremely disappointed. The entrance is all dark, dingy, dirty and horrific. It maybe nice within. First impressions are lasting impressions. Don't bother.

History buff. Nice place to walk around and learn. Grab a seat and take a break. Because of the walls and plants, much of the traffic noise is lessened.

This place is truly beautiful and the definition of historic. It's super well kept and I feel anyone who has a chance should take it and visit

Beautiful historical place!. If you come to Santo Domingo you must visit this place if you are interested on history of Domenican Republic. Impressive Mausoleum.

Very interesting place. Lots of history to see in this park of the oldest continually occupied city in the New World.

OK, good if you've got a tour guide with u to put the history in context!

it is a very beautiful amusement park there are many trees and it gives such freshness we breathe very well and it is very ecological

This is a great site to visit and the guides will happily take you around and to other sites in walking distance.

Turistic site .Cool area to sit and drink fresh beer...
