Hi Philippine Travelers! We're here at People's Park, Davao City's favorite free attraction located at the heart of the city.
This used to be called PTA grounds where a lot of sports meets were held. But City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte decided to convert this into a beautiful manicured garden for everyone to visit during weekends and weekdays as well.
People's Park is already 7 years old. It was opened in 2008 and then it was as beautiful as this although the trees have grown a lot over the years. It's more shady now.
This is actually a favorite spot for Dabawenyos, not just us Dabawenyos but also tourists and other visitors from different parts of the country.
Selling of food is not allowed inside the park but a lot of us bring food in and have a picnic inside the park. There are a lot of food concessions outside: there are food trucks parked outside as well as tiny stores called sari-sari where we can buy small snacks to consume inside the park.
There is no entrance fee for the park. It's free, it's very clean as you can see and there are a lot of attractions. There is a jogging path that used to be the oval so it's an Olympic-sized jogging track, if there is a thing like that.
There are a lot of trees, there entire place is shady. It's a perfect place for picnics and for hanging out, people-watching and just killing time. If you have time to spare or time to kill and you're in downtown Davao City, People's Park is a good place to hang out in because there is a much-needed shade. And you won't need to spend a lot of money.
If I were to rate this spot, I would give it 4. It is very clean and well-maintained even if it's free. And it's a lot of fun to be here. The only downside is that since it's for free, there are a lot of street kids loitering around. And I don't think it's safe for everybody to be loitering around especially the little ones.
