Parque Nacional Laguna del Condado Profesor Jaime Benítez was created to protect one of San Juan’s most important natural ecosystems while offering the public a space for recreation, education, and connection with nature. Named in honor of Professor Jaime Benítez Rexach, a key figure in Puerto Rico’s intellectual and civic development, the park reflects a vision that values both environmental preservation and public access. Its designation as a protected area marked a commitment to safeguarding the lagoon’s ecological and cultural significance.

Historically, the Condado Lagoon has played an essential role in the life of San Juan, serving as a natural waterway and habitat for diverse marine species and birdlife. Over time, urban growth increased the need to preserve this space, leading to conservation efforts that transformed the area into a national park. These efforts helped restore the lagoon while allowing people to experience it through guided activities and responsible use.

More than a natural reserve, the park represents balance between city life and environmental stewardship. It offers a setting where nature, education, and community coexist. For residents and visitors alike, Parque Nacional Laguna del Condado stands as a reminder of Puerto Rico’s responsibility to protect its natural heritage while keeping it accessible for future generations.
