People’s Park, Davao City’s Newest Landmark

A four-hectare urban buffer zone identified as the lung center at the heart of the metropolis is People’s Park: the newest landmark of Davao City, the Project Manager Engr. Elisa Madrazo said.

Twenty different components constitute the P 72-M People’s Park drawing in both local and foreign visits, a part of the move of the city to promote Davao tourism that is open for the public, free of charge.

Madrazo said that “People from all walks of life are coming here. We have a tally-counter of more than hundreds of people coming… There are some people who are coming here in the park, they’re telling me that some portions of the park seem like Singapore, Malaysia and other countries...”

Roughly, over a thousand species of trees and plants from different areas of the world such as those from Southeast Asia formed the man-made tropical rainforest giving visitors a real feel and touch with nature.

The park provides the students with the real sights of rare and even nearly extinct species of plants and trees and exhibits showcasing orchids, tropical flowers, and ornamentals.

Given this atmosphere, the park has become a sanctuary for group learning and discussions. Groups of students from far places visit the park for the Lakbay-Aral program of Department of Education.

“We also consider this area as a learning center. In this generation, maybe only few know the different kinds of trees” Madrazo said.
