Spacious park with lots of big shade trees, there are many military aircraft scattered throughout…read more I appreciated that there were informational signs describing the aircraft and it's history. Keep an eye on the kiddos because some of the chains are broken so you can walk up right next to the dilapidated aircraft which could prove hazardous. There are vendors that sell handmade toys; I bought a cool whistle for 50 pesos. There's an attendant that roams the parking lot collecting 10 pesos for parking. Interesting stop if you're in the area.

In between all of my activities, I found any park in my immediate vicinity to visit. The day I…read morevisited this park... it was around 95 degrees F(35 degrees C). This park is just outside of the Clark Freeport Zone(Formally Clark Air Base-aka a base that used to be controlled by the United States). The mainstay of this park is the salakot structure. It resembles a salakot(or traditional hat). It used to be inside the former airbase but was later moved. It was built during the tenure of one of the presidents to signify Philippine sovereignty. It was built to recognize the Military Bases Agreement when the US military was still there decades ago. During my visit on a hot day, I thought it was funny. It seemed everyone was retreating from the heat and sun and this foreigner was just out there basking in the sun. Let it be hot.. as long as it doesn't include the ignorant humidity of Midwest America... I'm golden. One other thing to note was the Salakot was the countdown venue for the 2019 SE Asian Games. It was a neat park in the middle of two highways. The structure is there with a pathway that circles around the park. There were groups doing tik-toks on one side of the park. There were a few people laying out on the lawn and watching traffic. There were also a few basketball courts. To be Noonish, I was surprised by how many people were out in the park. As mentioned before, a couple of sides of the park have highways separated by fences but one side has a strip of local businesses with street food included. *drool* If I was a local, I could see myself hanging out here often.

Bayanihan Park as it is today was once a long and unkempt park back in the early 2000s. The…read moresignature 'salakot' or Filipino-inspired hat serving as the main structure in the middle of the Park was once in the main road leading in or out of Clark Main Gate; it was situated near today's location of the PNP detachment along Fields Avenue. What makes this park not-so-good are the following: 1. It used to be just one whole chunk of park extending all the way to the isolated smaller park along MacArthur Highway in front of the gas stations, but a diversion was created which sliced the park into two. 2. There are still obnoxious pimps and prostitutes (since they are in close proximity to Fields Avenue) who would bug men for services. Experienced this on multiple occasions when I used to jog in the Park. 3. There are few trash bins; park goers usually just leave their trash behind. 4. Benches are often filled with pairs doing PDA instead of doing something worthwhile; I usually go there to read my books but opted Clark parks instead. 4. Some park-goers are loud so better bring your headset/earphones when you try the experience. 5. Unlike in Manila parks, no one will approach to offer a for-hire-mat, so bring your own. 6. Not many trees and shade to rest in case you will visit during the scorching summer. Now, if you can endure all the warning signs I, then Bayanihan Park is all for you. The best time to come by would be in the early mornings 5am to 7am (granting it is open then), and around 5pm to 7pm. If you will visit driving your vehicle, the parking would be a little far (at the jeepney terminal); no parking on any side of the park. And, you have to bring your own liquids or snack just in case you get all hungry and tired since there are few options near the park unless crossing the busy-Philippine roads is not a problem for you since the gas stations have mini cafes.

They also have a small food/drink store so people can stay and chill here for a bit and be one with nature :3 I saw a family have a picnic here and I think it's so cute to see them play around and have fun on the grass area. There's a small parking area for cars, and the area is easily accessible by cab or jeep. It's near the end of Upper Session Road and nearby Camp John Hay and Baguio Country Club.

Granted, it's not made of ice and doesn't have a statue of Jor-El and Lara holding a globe of Krypton, it is my place of solace. Post-class hours, pre-class hours, and sometimes even during class hours, you'll find college me here. To say that this park is beautiful is an understatement. Seriously, it's almost offensive! Freedom Park (aka F-park) is beyond beautiful, it's ineffable. Anyone who's ever been, can attest to this. But hey, you don't have to take our word for it, go on a roadtrip to Elbi this weekend. Bring a blanket and a telescope. You're welcome.

Located right at the entrance of the Assumption school campus, the PACEM Eco Park is part-garden,…read morepart-museum, and part-mini zoo. It was established by the school to raise concern for the environment for its school community and for visitors who can visit the eco park for just a minimal entrance fee. It's amazing how this little pocket of green in Antipolo houses some amazing animals endemic to the Philippines like the Monkey-Eating Eagle or the Philippine Eagle, the "Pilandok" or Philippine Mouse-deer, the Flying Lemur, the Palawan Bearcat, and the Calamian Deer among others. There's also a cheeky myna bird somewhere in there that keeps asking, "Kumain ka na?" Lol. It's a well-maintained park so you can easily walk through the mini-forest inside, peek into the pond and this wishing well at the front, and stop by the butterfly garden and mini museum as well. It's pretty cool to have something like this in this area. Makes for a great environmental education trip with family, especially for those with little kids!

Kids today are more indoors than ever before. Pollution, crime and the heat are making parents…read morerethink their child rearing ways. Tablets and other gadgets are being freely given to these kids and in turn, they become perfectly content with staying in their rooms all day. Our outdoor culture is already diminishing and what better way to bring it back than to take children to the farm? Holding baby pigs, fishing, riding carabaos, feeding rabbits- these are just some of the things that your kids can experience at the Sta. Elena Fun Farm. I see this place as a quick retreat from the city, a breather from the traffic, buildings and all the asphalt that has enveloped Manila. It doesn't take so long to get there and once you reach the place, you'll fall in love with it. Tips: 1. Take the kids here on a weekend complete with a picnic basket. 2. Entrance is P300 for kids and adults. Any kid below 2 years old is free. 3. Lolos and lolas get discounts too!

There's lots of opportunities to interact with animals here: feeding rabbits and hamsters, catching fish, meeting friendly carabaos and pot-beliied pigs, and riding proper sized horses (not like those tiny ponies in Tagaytay). My favorite thing to do here is to climb up a wall as fast as possible (I time each new attempt), scramble back down the other side of the tower on sloping tree trunks, then try out the hurdles. Then when I'm properly exhausted, I relax on a tire swing and watch ducklings waddle past. Points for all the obstacles being constructed from materials sourced right on the property. Outdoor markets are occasionally held here, which are a great place to pick up organic greens and local crafts. Throw in performances from OPM artists when the sun goes down and even a samba troupe, and you get a great summer party. This little pocket of green trees and fresh air is only 40 minutes away from Metro Manila, making it the perfect escape for those who are sick of the concrete jungle and want to stretch their limbs and clear their heads.

Lots of trees means lots of shade so you can actually lay a banig, rest under trees and enjoy the breeze. 2. There's a jogging patch along the perimeter of the park. Then there's one inside as well, which the trees hover upon so the path is quite shaded. 3. Aside from the jogging path, there are also benches under the trees where those who don't have their banigs can rest. 4. Free massage! The baranggay of Pamplona Dos gives free reflexology training and the dedicated are for the masseuse to put these skills to practice and gain customers is at the PVHA Park. 5. There's a well-maintained children's playground with the standards like swing sets, a slide, see-saw, monkey bars and more. 6. The full-sized basketball court at the PVHA Park is of such good quality that it is even rented by companies for their sportsfests. 7. There's also a tennis court which the PVHA Tennis Club calls home. 8. An open area serves as a small soccer field where villagers and non-villagers play in the afternoons. 9. Another structure serves as a badminton and volleyball court, plus a venue for zumba classes at least twice a week. 10. Every Sunday, there are several food stalls selling an assortment of snacks and other delicacies for villagers and church-goers alike. Would I dare say it's the best park in our area? Why not visit then you be the judge.
