PARKS OF BAGUIO CITY: CITY HALL PARK


The city hall park is a small area right in front of the city hall. It sits on the top of Abanao Street. The sloping grounds is good for walking around the paved walkway or n the slopes.







The murals are preserved in this park from the numerous murals which stood right beside the city hall decades ago when the city hall park was a smaller park, mostly paved beside the city hall. That same area for the previous city hall park is where Justice Hall is now situated.


Lately, the newest renovation for this park is the stage where flag ceremonies are held every Monday in the City Hall. Below this stage is an office fronting the park.


How to reach the park?


City Hall park can be said to be at the center of the city. One can reach this park via taxi - just direct the driver to get you to City Hall. Plugdown rate for taxis in Baguio is 35 Php then another 2 Php every few meters thereof. The park would be easy to spot from there. Another alternative is to take the public utility jeepney going to downtown via any point from Naguilian Road. One can easily notice this jeepney routes by their yellow side trunk color. Jeepney fare is at minimum (8.50 Php) for this park.

Establishments near the park?


Eurotel Hotel is just across the park along with food establishments like Yellow Cab. Philippine National Bank is also available in the same block across the street. Cafe by the Ruins is also nearby. Since this park is at the center of the city, other establishments are just a walk away.

This is just one of the various amazing parks to visit in Baguio city.
