PARKS OF BAGUIO CITY: THE SKATING RINK


The skating rink is located at the other end of the Burnham lake. Although covered and excluded from the park, most children who would like to work on their balancing skill both with roller skates or inline skates are welcome. 

The center of the rink was renovated to be a mini amusement park. Many kiddie rides are available although high and fast rides are not catered. Most of the rides are for smaller children. The city has yet to come up with a real thrilling roller coaster or Ferris wheel.

Inside the amusement park is a ghost house, different kiddie roller coasters, shooting game stalls and bump car area. Tickets range from 10 Php to 50 Php. Food, drinks and pets are not allowed inside but this mini amusement park sure gives joy to small children who are young enough to try the big rides in big amusement parks.

The kiddie roller coaster makes 5 rounds for the fee of 50 Php. All tickets, by the way, are bought at the ticket booth located at the entrance of the park.

Train ride has small toddlers riding the train where a lucky one can go to the front car and ring the bell as the train choo choo along. Ticket for the train is 40 Php per child.

The bump car costs 50 Php for like 10 minutes of ride. 


How to reach the park?


No access for jeepneys for this park; however, one can ride a taxi and just direct it to the skating rink. Better yet, one can just walk from Burnham Rose Garden to the end of the Burnham Lake and you will surely see the skating rink that easily.

Establishment near the park?


Because it is situated at the end of Burnham Park, the skating rink is near the Athletic Bowl on the right and Solibao restaurant on the opposite side. The road going to the skating rink will lead to the University of the Cordilleras.
