Capilay Spring Park

Capilay Spring Park is San Juan’s charming natural retreat, nestled amid lush greenery right off the Circumferential Road. At its heart is a cool, crystal-clear spring sourced from nearby mountain aquifers, gently filling a public pool surrounded by towering trees, shaded huts, and manicured lawns. This picturesque setting blends the refreshing allure of nature with cozy park amenities, making it a favorite for photographers, families, and anyone craving a peaceful soak in a leafy oasis. Visitors often describe the spring’s waters as “clean, refreshing, and cold”, perfect for cooling down on a tropical afternoon. Local fish also swim in the pool, adding a unique, natural touch to your dip.
