Introduction

Tomás Guardia Central Park is the heart of Liberia, capital of Guanacaste province, Costa Rica. Named after President Tomás Guardia Gutiérrez, this central square is surrounded by a white colonial-style church, historic buildings and palm shade — the core gathering and leisure space for Liberia's residents. Liberia, known as "La Ciudad Blanca" (the White City) for its traditional white adobe buildings, is the capital of Guanacaste. The park is the city's soul — a central gazebo and green space ringed by Liberia's oldest church, municipal hall and colonial buildings. At dusk, residents chat on benches and children play — the best place to experience Costa Rica's "Pura Vida" spirit. Visiting to feel the slow pace and community warmth in a colonial square of the "White City" is a relaxed, authentic Central American urban experience.
