My friend and I decided to visit this place, La Mesa Eco Park. It was a sunny Saturday morning. It was indeed a perfect time to have a walked on this mini forest (that's how I describe this place). I was amazed on how a place like this be in Metro Manila. Wow! yun lang nasabi ko :) . First time ko eh and the fact na puro building nakikita ko sa Metro. I grew up in Manila so napapa Wow ako every time I see something green. Just like this. The place is very relaxing. It is a good reward for me bilang stress ka sa work the whole week. Actually, you can do many activities like rapelling, zipline plus boating. Sayang lang I never tried any of those. But, I will definitely try it once I go back. For your guide, here's the park map.
To get there via commute/public transportation:
From EDSA (Taft Aven to Quezon Aven)
-Take Mrt, get off at Quezon Aven. Station
-Take FX/Shuttle to SM Fairview or Fairview Caltex (you can also take the SM Fairview/Zabarte/Sapang Palay Buses or jeepneys
-Get off at Wilson Street
-Take East Fairview Tricycle to Eco Park
-or-
Take the bus with the signboards: SM fairview/zabarte/Sapang Palay and get off at Wilson street and take tricycle to Eco Park.
And Here's some of the photos. Enjoy!
