Parque de la Abolición
Parque de la Abolición (English: Abolition Park) is a city park in Ponce, Puerto Rico. It is the only park in the Caribbean dedicated to commemorating the abolition of slavery. It was established in the 1890s and renovated in 1956.
==Location and features==
The park is located on Avenida Hostos at the fork of Salud Street and Marina Street. The centerpiece of the park is a monument depicting a black male slave with broken chains depicting he is now a free man. A 100-foot high obelisk, Monumento a la abolición de la esclavitud, raises just behind the black iron sculpture of the freed slave that accentuates and gives instance to the occasion. The monument and obelisk are surrounded by graceful gardens. Immediately north of the obelisk is the outdoors acoustic amphitheater known as ''La Concha Acustica'' (English: The Acoustic Shell) which completes the park as a complete triangular city block. ''La Concha Acustica'' is an open-air auditorium used as a music venue, including presentations by the Ponce Municipal Band. ''La Concha Acustica'' can seat up to 2,000 people.〔(Explore Puerto Rico.
