PARKS IN BAGUIO CITY: THE CHILDREN'S PARK

The Children's park was once the best amusement place for children when malls and fastfoods were yet to come. A lot of renovations have been made to this park but so many of the children's playing equipment are still around. There were bike rentals for small toddlers inside the park before which were taken out, so all bikers use the roads connecting the parks instead. 

A pair of two concrete elephants stood in the entrance of the park. They were there since 1970s and though they have been painted now, they still stand as the welcome symbol of the park. 

The big slide was already taken out and was replaced by a newer version of play place for children along with others. However, the swings, with their big chains and loops are still used until now. 

Although malls and food establishments are always packed with people during summer especially weekends, the Children's Park still has a portion of the children's population. Traditional style picnics with straw mats or cartons are still observed in this park. Local folks carry sports equipment like balls and badminton rackets.

How to reach the park?

The park is located at the left side of the Burnham Lake (Coming from Rose Garden). Although there is no jeepey route to take one to the entrance of the park, visitors can still take their vehicle or taxi and drive all the way to the back of the park.
