Centro Recreativo Bosque de la Hoja

Great place to spend a day with the family. There are barbeque areas available with running water and electrical outlet. It might be windy up there, so bring some long sleeves just in case

It a nice place, don't assume it's name that it is a real Forrest, think of it like a big big backyard. It hace a really nice open green area, where everybody sits down and have their picnic. Theere are a few sections equipped with grill and so, for the lucky early birds tgar arrive to the site. Walking paths have no indications where you are at or if you want to get out, how to do it without expending hours of your life- a good thing if it's not raining, like what happened to me, if it's raining. ...- Finally and what really desappointed me was the so called river:If you are doing to walk though te trails, don't do it thinking you'll find the perfect river or water fall, cause you will sit and cry right there.

Pretty nice place to visit, clean and nice forest to safety walk, they have bathrooms, parking lot, security, among some other features. I really recommend this place!

Well worth an afternoon trip from Heredia. Buses leave Heredia frequently, on the 1/2 hour, I think, from the bus stop on Avenida 4, opposite Manuel María Gutiérrez Park. 600 colones for the ride. The trails are not especially well marked, but the park is small, and it is possible to feel quite "in the woods" without too straying too far or being too worried about losing your way.

Very nice option for a picnic day

Great hiking! Beautiful trees and creeks. No actual map so bring a gps if you are on a tight schedule. Otherwise it’s fenced in so you will eventually get back to the entrance. Fees are minimal ($9 for two adults and 2 kids plus a car) definitely recommend. There is no food inside so bring your own or venture out to the many restaurants outside. We found one right outside that was good (restaurante Carie) and there was a pond and a little boat you can rent for 15 min.

Excellent outdoor facility for families. Play areas for children and games. Walking trails through woods. A number of rancheros available with area for food preparation, a bbq (bring charcoal), stools for 5 people - available on first come, first served basis. Large and clean washroom facilities. Plenty of parking. Very low entrance fees make it affordable for everyone.

Beautiful place, you can go with friends, family and even pets. There you will have a big parking lot, restrooms, playground. You can also bring your bike and ride ir there. 2000 cólones Parking lot. 800 per person. Bring a sweater since it is windy and cold.
