It's not in a very safe part of town, but you can see the statue of Francisco Morazan, the city founder, in the park. It's right next to the main church which is very beautiful inside.

The Parque Central was blocked off for a few years as it was being renovated, but as of about two years ago it reopened, and is a nice place to walk around and see "downtown" teguc. As in most latinamerican cities, the central park is bordered on one side by a large cathedral, which is worth taking a look inside. As of 2006, they were refurbishing the outside of the cathedral. Close to the park are some shops, fast food joints, and a good internet cafe about 1.5 blocks away.
I recommend that you walk around, get your shoes shined and people watch for a few minutes before hopping in a cab to your hotel, bus, airport, etc..
Nearby attractions include the modern-ish Congreso Nacional, the old colonial presidential palace on the banks of the RIo Choluteca, and there is another Church/Plaza a few blocks northwest with vendors and great baleadas.
As with any place in Teguc, its relatively safe during the day but at night it's not somewhere you want to be.

The Central Park is not really a park, just a square in the city. It has a nice statue and the beautiful cathedral next to it, but that's about it. However, it's a perfect place to meet up with people.

This is the historic downtown of Tegucigalpa and you can see that when you visit! We were there on a Sunday morning about 10:30am and again at 2:30pm. Lots of people coming and going from the Catedral and lots of people with their kids (and vendors selling toys, balloons, candy), and also people gathering for the free concert. There are some homeless/beggars but they weren't bothersome.
It is a great place for people watching and if you get hungry there are lots of fast food (unfortunately) restaurants nearby. You can also get coffee and a pastry from one of the nearby cafes.
We felt perfectly safe here. We arrived on the public bus from Hospital San Felipe (in the Embassy area) for 11lps and the bus stop is right at the SE corner of the park. Perfect location and we felt safe on the bus. No need for an over-priced taxi.

This downtown square/park is a good place to view Honduran culture, and watch the hustle and bustle of the capital city. The cathedral is more beautiful and feels more authentic than the national basilica in town, I would just warn you that the park was packed with people when we visited. It is also downtown, so if you are a tourist, go in a larger group for safety. I would recommend the downtown squares at Comayagua, Gracias, Santa Barbara, or Copan Ruinas to really enjoy a more relaxing and safer view of Honduras.

Central Park Tegus is cool. I wouldn't say its a place for family travel, but for a single or couple traveling through Honduras, Tegus is an ok stop. Central park is a must if your in Tegus. Nice view, cool character and little mall on one side.

I got to spend a couple weeks in Honduras touring the countryside on humanitarian missions, and nowhere else does the country display it's Central American vibe better than right here in Tegucigalpa! The downtown area is a great place to see the buildings still in grand shape, and there's lots of tasty bites to eat. Try your best to get here. Other spots n the country are great too and I'm happy to see people stopping at Roatan on the cruises to keep the name Honduras on their lips too!

Beautiful cathedral! In a downtown park just 5 blocks down hill from the Maya hotel. The park was enhanced by vendors selling water bags.

A true park setting for locals and tourists. Street performers, live music, food carts, and very centrally located to coffee shops, a couple of bars, and excellent shops of authentic Honduran wares.

It's a GREAT PLACE to people watch, get something to eat on the street and an overall good time but I thought it would be much more like a park setting. That being said, the public Wi-Fi access was displayed and it connected quickly. I really liked that feature.
