Parque de Bombas, Ponce

This is a wonderful little place to visit in Puerto Rico and a MUST see if you're in Ponce. It's located right in the central Plaza surrounded by great little restaurants and shops. The Parque de Bombas is a tribute to the original firefighters in Ponce. There are photographs of the units from the 1890's and early 1900's, memorabilia like uniforms, trumpets and bells that used to alert the townspeople that there was a fire and even a old firetruck that supposedly still runs. The museum is free, and the volunteers that care for the space are super friendly and have a wealth of information to share. They will even help guide you to fun things to do in the area around the plaza. We had a wonderful little experience there.

At the heart or Ponce , next to the beautiful plaza. You can find food kiosk and a suvenior shop right across the street from the Museum. The Gentleman who works there is awesome I took my two children for the 1st time. To show them where their Family came from. And as part of our adventure, i took them here. Its very nice and cool inside . It has artifact from the station was built.

Ponce is a beautiful town. On this trip I met a beautiful, friendly and courteous young lady at the Ponce station. She gave me a little history on the fire truck, the station and also saw me interested in a piece they had and advice the hours and date to see it. She also advice of the Restaurant to visit. I really wish more people like her did their jobs. Ponce town and nearby sites are a must to go place. Explore each town you visit. You will be impressed with everything you learn each day. You live once, enjoy and always give a smile. Let me know if you 👍.

Very cool scene around the square where this is. Very cool history of the historical support for their first responders in Ponce. Very nice pair of squares around the church to spend a quiet afternoon watching people and roaming to find local food treats.

Interesting stop in Ponce. Easy to find street parking. Kids enjoyed this stop, the plaza, and fountain area. Cute coffee shops, ice cream, and restaurants in the area.
