Last weekend, Nina of JustWandering.org and I strolled at the Paco Park. I know that this park was once used as a cemetery. In fact, one of the country’s most prolific citizen was, at once, buried here. It was my first time to actually set foot in this park. And just like a kid, I kind of feel giddy to be in this hallowed ground.
The Paco Park is circular in shape. with its camposanto or chapel at the far end of the round coming from the gate. Large trees give the place a shady and breezy feel. Despite the fact that this place was once a cemetery, a lot of couples still opt to say their marriage vows here. The Paco Park in Manila is a favorite wedding venue because of its garden wedding -feel.
A lot of locals also love to stroll of just laze around the place. We have seen a lot of couples, ehrrmmm lovebirds spending time together here. There are also some who would bring foods and have picnic at the grounds.
The Paco Park is a bit small but very very nice. A must-visit place when you are in Manila. The five peso-entrance feel is all worth the strolling experience I had all Saturday afternoon.
Paco Park part 2, tomorrow.
