Small park in San Marco. I like to say that this park is what makes San Marco such a cute neighborhood. It’s located at the San Marco square and it has a fountain. I’ve seen it all year around. It gets decorated for Christmas and Lots of community events take place in there as well.

Great little park in San Marco. I go for the tennis. There are clay and hard courts. Close to shots and restaurants. There is a playground for kids and picnic tables, and a library.

Loves the San Marco fountain with lions.I found the prices really expensive.It was a Saturday. The Write Touch was closed.I suggested years ago that the sidewalks that were buckled be replaced with tile like in Buenos Aires. Brick is plausible.

San Marco Theatre was very nice locally run movie theatre. We saw Mary Poppins Returns. We were treated with personal attention. Loved the intimate atmosphere and surround sound. I definiteky would make this my go to movie theatre. We like buying local and this park has many locally owned shops and restaraunts. Easy parking and wonderful area to walk. We felt safe there too.
