Fodor's Review:

The mazelike park of St. Lucía is a hangout for souvenir vendors, park-bench smoochers, and photo-snapping tourists. Walking uphill along the labyrinth of interconnected paths and plazas takes about 30 minutes. An elevator two blocks north of the park's main entrance is a little faster, but its schedule is erratic. The crow's nest, reached via a series of steep and slippery stone steps, affords an excellent 360-degree view of the entire city. Be careful near dusk, as the park also attracts the occasional mugger.
