Quiet, serene, beautiful views and a zoo is what you'll get a whispering palms. There's wi-fi, gym, and a mini zoo with monkeys and a crocodile. After dark all sorts of animals come out, giant millipedes, giant crabs to name but a few, and a short walk away is the beach and at night saw hundreds of crabs and starfish.
I remembered well when the People's Park first opened its gate to the public; locals and visitors alike flocked the whole park from day until night. Miniature models of the city's structures fascinated the locals. The man made waterfalls, the life size concrete installations was a fave background for photo buffs. The swimming pool was then rented by a local who used to be in food/catering business. It was indeed a local spot especially during weekends and holidays.
People's Park remains to be among the city's tour spots. Although, the concerned lgu agency should give it the face lift it needs. At the same time, year-round event planning should be implemented so that not only locals will have a good reason to frequent the place but more so our visitors. While other cities are yet to construct a spot, our already exists for some time. Our People's Park has already existing amenities that just need some creativity and improvement to make it more enticing and worthwhile the trip of travelers/tourists. Let our creative juice work for the growth of our tourism industry!
