ARROCEROS PARK UPDATE (WOW ANG GANDA NA)
ARROCEROS FOREST PARK MANILA UPDATE..
The Arroceros Forest Park, long considered as Manila's last lung, is set to be inaugurated by mid-January, but with concrete structures much to the dismay of environmentalists who have been lobbying to keep the area as green as possible.
After undergoing a 6-month construction amounting to P363 million, the 2.2-hectare park now has fountains, elevated walkways, a coffee shop and play areas for children.
It has an elevated walkway inside because the trails are muddy so we had to elevate it so when you go around, it's comfortable.
There are special lighting systems inside so that even in the evening, we can still open it because there is a view. It also has fountains inside and outside.
The local government of Manila spent P363 million for the rehabilitation of Manila's last lung, but members of the Save Arroceros Movement expressed displeasure over the new features of Arroceros.
The designated playground will be an open area with benches.Lights will only be just at thigh level and will be just bright enough to light the pathways, so as not to disturb the animals living in the forest."
The Arroceros Forest Park is part of a series of construction and rehabilitation projects to create more tourist destinations in Manila under Domagoso's administration.
The Arroceros Forest Park is a riverside park in Manila, Philippines, located on Antonio Villegas Street (former Calle Arroceros) in the central district of Ermita. Developed in 1993, the 2.2-hectare (5.4-acre) urban forest on the south bank of the Pasig River, at the foot of Quezon Bridge, consists of secondary growth forest with 61 different tree varieties and 8,000 ornamental plants providing a habitat for 10 different bird species.
Despite its small size, it is considered an important feature of the city in providing fresh air to the Lawton area, which is traversed by many commuters from other cities in the region. It lies in a historic area of Manila and has been called "Manila's last lung", being the city's only nature park.
The park is administered by the City Government of Manila in partnership with private environmental group, Winner Foundation.
