Floral Park is a subbarrio, a legal subdivision[2] of Hato Rey Central, a barrio in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[3]

It was formerly one of 12 sectors in Hato Rey before it was subdivided into Hato Rey Norte, Hato Rey Central and Hato Rey Sur[when?].

In the 1950s, this area was known for its horse racing with 3 tracks (Las Casas, Las Monjas and Quintana), nearby.[4]
