Reminiscing Magsaysay Park

Magsaysay Park in Davao City has been the central avenue of recreation for Dabawenyos in decades. The park served its purpose to provide the people a place to nestle throughout the day.



We could still see the slide, the swing, see-saw, etc. that we used to enjoy as a child.  




This place had become an oasis of most children in the city where we could play and meet new friends.  


The skating and bicycle rink is still available for use and for you to enjoy. You could rent a variety of the available bikes and skates for less than P100.00 per hour





The Nuestra Senora Del Pilar is a chapel (I think) with benches and a fixed table in front. This could also be found still in the park.


It also still have the Durian Monument which represents the city's popular fruit; the Durian (as the name suggested). Davao City has been known in the Philippine as the "Durian Capital".


At the side most part, we could see this enclosed area with a stage and benches fronting it. Not sure about what is this for, but as observed for these past years; this has been a playground for skateboarders. 

Lastly, the overlooking view to Samal Island. With the prepared benches fronting this view, it is a perfect place to have a sweet discussion with someone while gazing the opposite land (not minding the smell of its breeze tho).







As we go outside, you will see the famous tourists stop-over and  market for Durian to buy and for "pasalubong". It also have pomelos displayed which is a popular "pasalubong" to visitors as well.
