In this small park there is a monument to Juan Santamaría, a Costa Rican national hero. Through his self-sacrifice the army was able to win the Second Battle of Rivas and preserve the country's independence.

Parish founded in 1960 and belonging to the Vicariate of Monsignor Barquero and the Diocese of Alajuela. It should be noted that this little table where the tabernacle was placed, has a series of ornamental carvings of vines and, as a curious fact, the shield of the Mercedarian Order, which suggests that whoever carved it or ordered it carved was a devotee of Our Lady of Mercy
