Parque Omar - Little Oasis in Panama City


Parque Omar is a straight up "cool" place!

Its in the middle of the all the hustle and bustle of Panama City, yet when you enter you get away from all that madness.

Here's what you'll find:
  • Good jogging path
  • Pullup bars (my favorite)
  • Situp benches
  • Swimming Pool (but you have to get a Dr's note before you can swim) :(
  • Small weight room
  • Lots of greenery
  • Juice Bar
  • Vegetable Stand
  • Lots of people jogging (in the evenings)
  • Very safe (well at least there are lots of police)
  • Extravagant decorations (for holidays)
  • They even have recycling receptacles!!!!! (Uncommon for Panama)

On top of all this, you will still find SOME Panamanians with brand new matching exercise outfits and shoes, but BARELY doing any exercise. To them its more about the outfit than the exercise. :) They can also be found at the Powerclub and walking on the Cinta Costeira.

If they ever came to my class, they wouldn't even make it through the warm up. :)
