The Urban Ecological Park (Spanish: Parque Ecológico Urbano), also known asdthe Ponce Ecological Park (Spanish: Parque Ecológico de Ponce), is a passive park in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The park was designed by Bonin Orozco Arquitectos[4] and was inaugurated on 19 September 2012.[5] The park is unique in that it was designed to create a "green lung" in the city by using ecological mindset in its entirety, from the construction materials used to the design and other areas as well. Except for one tree that got relocated within the project, the new park made use of all the existing trees and shrubs as they existed on the site prior to the development of the park.[6]
