What type of recreational facilities are in San Jose?

"Soccer is hands down the most popular recreational activity, but adults seem to prefer watching the games on TV than playing. A fair number of people are bicycling these days. Almost everybody likes going to the mountains or the beach, but these are more weekend excursions than daily activities. My neighborhood has several gyms for those who work out. People do play tennis and swim in pools, but this seems to involve finding and paying for access to the courts or the pools. Foreigners often like to play golf, and there are courses, but none near me. You have to go to the golf courses. Basically mine is an urban setting where sports-like recreational facilities aren't widely available to the general public, but people who like various sports and recreational activities find the venues. Some even take day trips to the ocean beaches--a couple are close enough--but that's ambitious. Most people would want those trips as well as those into the mountains to be overnight excursions, but they can be done in a day," said another expat in San Jose, Costa Rica.

"San Jose offers a variety of recreational facilities for visitors and locals alike. The city is home to several parks, including Parque La Sabana, a large urban park with a lake, gardens, and a variety of sports facilities. The park also hosts a variety of cultural events throughout the year. The city also has several public swimming pools, including the Parque Nacional, which is located in the heart of the city. For those looking for a more active experience, San Jose has several sports complexes, including the Estadio Nacional, which is home to the Costa Rican national soccer team. The city also has several golf courses, including the Cariari Country Club, which is one of the most prestigious courses in the country. For those looking for a more relaxed experience, San Jose has several spas and wellness centers, as well as a variety of restaurants and bars," wrote a member who made the move to San Jose, Costa Rica.
