Fodor's Review:

What locals call Parque Miraflores is actually two parks. The smaller section is Parque Central, which has frequent open-air concerts. Shoeshine boys will ask whether you need a lustre when you stop to listen to the music. The honking noise you hear is the ice-cream vendors that patrol the park on bright yellow bicycles. A tourist-information kiosk sits on the south side. Across a pedestrian street full of local artists showing off their latest works is Parque Kennedy, where the babble from a lively crafts market fills the evening air. On the eastern side is the pretty Parroquia Virgen Milagrosa (Miraculous Virgin Church). A few sidewalk cafés are behind the church.

There always seems to be a lot happening around this area, and it's safer and cleaner than many areas. The park is generally well-tended, though the street noise detracts some from the impression.
