Park In The City

14 July 2009 By: Marlene35 Comments

People's Park in Davao City
The People’s Park – Davao City
People's Park in 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!

      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.

      Paid rides can be good in bigger parks, but this park is not so spacious.

      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.
