Park In The City
The People’s Park – Davao City
People’s Park by night
This People’s Park in my hometown, Davao City, is the latest attraction I’ve longed to see for the first time. It was opened sometime in 2007 (months after our second visit to the city). I remember many years back, the place was just a PTA grounds where sports and other events were held. But now it’s turned into something beneficial to the people and the city itself. I should say that the park is quite enchanting at nights when lights are lit and beautifully upholds it’s authentic sculptures inside. As this place will definitely become a tourist attraction, I wish the people would keep it clean and safe. I’ve read that on it’s opening day, some plants were destroyed and walls and benches vandalized. That’s why security is quite tight now upon entering the premises. The park seems crowded on weekends though.
P.S…
My blogging routine isn’t back to normal yet. I’m still on vacation with hubby here in my hometown and we’re both tired in the night. We’re out everyday to visit different places, aside from visiting and meeting friends and relatives. I know I’ve neglected dropping my EC and bloghopping so please bear with me. I will surely visit your blogs whenever I can while I’m still here. Miss y’all!

Davao seems to me a great city to visit, i wish i could be playing in this park one day, or writing a post up there : how to make money by installing paid ride in public park
.-= Make Money from Blogging´s last blog ..How To Integrate Google Custom Search into WordPress Blog and Make Money? =-.
It’s free entrance to this park because the city of davao owns this. I don’t think paid ride is allowed inside since it’s not really big.
After watching these snap. I can say that its looks very beautiful in the night. Thanks for photo.
Yes, I like it in the night, too.
@vitamins– Yes I also like the rainbow on the ground. We both are in the same boat that how to make money by installing paid in public park.
Paid rides can be good in bigger parks, but this park is not so spacious.
nice shots….. wud you mind in ex-links?

Hi, I will add you after cleaning up my blogroll.
Around our neighborhood our park doesn’t look as good as this park. Even at night with the lights on.
.-= jay @ work at home´s last blog ..Buying Old Domains To Work At Home! It Works Or Hurts? =-.
Sad to know about that, Jay.
Did you click these Pics? Your explanation is Good, but the Pics speak for themselves.
.-= Tech-Freak Stuff´s last blog ..What is encrypted code in WordPress themes? =-.
Yayy, I don’t know what they speak to you because even hubby and I have different views on this park. I’m quite positive, he’s negative.
Your park must be larger and more spacious than this park. Tennis or basketball courts would be nice in a park.
It’s good that smoking is not allowed in this park. Everyday, there are park rangers who are looking out for non-abiding visitors.
I guess that’s supposed to be a figure of a durian. But it doesn’t look like it.
