Parque Morazán ⚠ Unverified Own this place?

Parque Morazán is a public park in downtown San José, near the Hotel Aurola area once called Gringo Gulch. Cruising directories list it as a long-standing after-dark meeting point for gay men and trans people. We have not verified current activity, and it is an unofficial, informal spot. The legal risk is low: same-sex relations are legal in Costa Rica, and marriage equality has been in place since 2020. Petty crime is the real issue in downtown San José parks at night. Carry little cash, leave valuables at the hotel, and stay alert. Public sex can still bring police attention. The city's indoor gay saunas are a safer option.
