If you are strolling about and happen (as I did) to see this lovely little park on your way, be sure to stop and see the statues of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and Anne Frank. It is a pretty photo spot, and you can take some lovely pictures with ocean views. Have fun trying to find and photograph the... More

A well groomed park right beside the Renaissance Resort where families can go to play ball, see tons of iguanas and the path winds aroun the resort as well for a nice, slow paced walk.

Very nicely maintained park, on the waterfront and a great place to watch all the basking iguanas! Wouldn't say it's somewhere we would have gone specifically but as we were exploring the town, it was nice to walk round and see some of the history. Nice chill out spot after shopping.

This wonderfully manicured park is home to several interesting things to see, including the statue of Wilhelmina of Holland, as well as a large population of Aruba's signature iguanas who hide in the nearby bushes. While not a tourist spot per se, it is a nice opportunity to appreciate Aruba's connection with Holland. Enjoy

Easy access from downtown. Enjoyed by locals as well as tourists. They have a new statue honoring Anne Frank. This area is part of a planned revitalization of downtown Oranjestad.
