Paseo Lineal Del Rio Bayamon, Puerto Rico

Hi there! Welcome! Today we will visit a beautiful green area set apart by the municipality of Bayamon, Puerto Rico. It is a place not just for the enjoyment of the residents of Bayamon, but for all who live in Puerto Rico and it's visitors. So if you are visiting or planning to visit and would like to exercise without the fear of cars and traffic in general or simply want to enjoy a stroll and take in the view and enjoy the slow flow of the Bayamon River, then this is one you should put on your calendar to visit when you are here.


You can walk, run or ride a bike; it has been divided so you can walk or run without fear of some bike bumping into you or you can ride your bike without anybody slowing you down because they chose to walk.

How much distance does the "Paseo Lineal" cover? One way is about 6 km. It runs parallel to the Bayamon river from the Bayamon golf course and range at Minillas Indstrial Park off rd.177 to the bridge on rd.165 Levittown, Toa Baja.
The Paseo is well marked. The municipality took the time to even place markers not only for the distances but also marked and placed information of the different plants, flowers and trees that were planted, indigenous of Puerto Rico. So bring your camera as you will want to take pictures.

Public restrooms have been placed along the path at strategic places. There are also machines dispensing

water bottles and water fountains. Also they have set resting spots in addition to the restrooms. There are three different parking areas. One at the golf course off rd 177 minillas ind. park, another in the Santa Rosa urbanization off "Avenida Main" and at barriada "La Cambija" off rd. 5, the intersection before the intersection of rd 167, Ave. Comerio.

These are some pictures of the scenery you can expect to enjoy.








 One thing I forgot to mention is security. There is plenty of it at the parking areas; they patrol the length of the park on foot and on bicycles. So you can relax and enjoy your walk or cycling. Come and enjoy nature and a cool breeze in the morning or afternoon.
















Here I am enjoying what I have just recommended. My wife walks with me also. Where is she? Guess? She is right behind the camera taking my picture. She is camera shy. Why aren't there more people in my pictures? I am retired, so when I go to the "Paseo" people are at work. Ain't that a shame! Well until next time.

ENJOY!
