Parque de la Ceiba (English: Ceiba Tree Park) is a passive park in sector Cuatro Calles of barrio San Antón, Ponce, Puerto Rico. Its centerpiece is the historic Ceiba pentandra, a tree associated with the founding of the city. Now surrounded by the park with the same name, the emblematic 500-year-old Ceiba tree stands on the edge of the Ponce Historic Zone.[1][2] The park opened in 1984, under the administration of Mayor Jose Dapena Thompson.[3] A sign on the fence that surrounds the tree identifies its species as Ceiba pentandra.
