Sabana Park

A couple weeks ago, we spent the afternoon at Sabana Park.  This is on the edge of San Jose and was the international airport from 1933 - 1977. 

Picture taken in January when we hiked up Pico Blanco.
Sabana Park is the green area in the middle of the picture.

Once the main terminal of the airport, this building is now the
Costa Rican Art Museum.

Inside of the building. I loved the architectural details.


This beautiful room was the diplomatic lounge at the airport.The walls are
bas-relief and chronicle the history of Costa Rica from pre-Columbian
 times to the present. 






The museum also had a great sculpture garden.

More sculpture garden looking towards the large trees in the park. 

The new stadium is at the opposite end of Sabana Park from the museum.
