Omar Recreational Park
The green lung of the modern metropolis
Omar Recreational Park is Panama City's green lung: 65+ hectares of heritage trees, a public library, playgrounds, and a 3.5 km perimeter path beloved by runners. Weekends bring cultural fairs and local sports. It sits next to Dovle Cincuentenario and Selva in Coco del Mar — you can walk to the park in five minutes and return for breakfast at Itodo Bistro without a car.
Practical Information
Our Tip
Run the 3.5 km loop at sunrise from Dovle; pair an afternoon with sunset on Punta Paitilla's Cinta Costera — 10–15 minutes by car from Coco del Mar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Omar Park free to enter?
Yes, park entry is free. Some special activities or events may charge a fee, but walking, running, and using the green areas cost nothing.
