Parque Diversiones

El Parque Diversiones Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes (English: The Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes Amusement Park, also known as Parque Diversiones or “fun park”) is an amusement park located in San José, Costa Rica. The park's motto is "healthy children help sick children".[1] The park was named for Dr. Brenes, whose proposal for a theme park resulted in the park’s creation. His mission was that the profits from the park would go to support the Dr. Carlos Saenz Herrera National Children's Hospital (Hospital Nacional de Niños, San Juan), established in 1964.[1] The amusement park began operating at the end of 1981.[1]
