I remember when I was still in Grade School, my classmates and I would often go to PTA Grounds after class and eat green mangoes with spicy bagoong. Back then, it was just a plain ol' soccer field where people could practice and jog around the oval. Our school used to conduct foundation celebrations and intramurals there, too. I studied at SPED de La Salle (formerly SPED Rizal), by the way . Fast forward 10 years, a theme park grew out of that boring soccer field, and is now one of the most visited places in Davao City.
People's Park opened its gates to the public on December 15, 2007 and was predicted to become the famous landmark of Davao City in the future, although I think it already is famous now. The 4-hectare park was baptized through a "Name a Park" contest conducted by the city government, through which the winner, Romeo Sardon, bagged 50,000php as the grand prize. The park showcases tropical rain forest trees, interactive fountains, large sculptures of native tribes, ponds, waterfalls, a sunken garden, Durian dome, and an open plaza among others. This theme park is located in the heart of Davao, along Palma Gil street.
Check out these amazing views! (Thanks Fra Diavalo Jamir for the photos)
If you happen to be in Davao, please do visit People's Park. It's a place that will give you a bird's eye view of the kind of life we have here : clean and peaceful surroundings, sculptures with amazing stories to tell, a cozy ambiance perfect for hanging out with families and friends. Plus, you get to do a picturesque jump shot, too.
