Quick Trips: La Mesa Eco Park

12/16/2013

0 Comments

 
If it weren't for a raket, Toto and I wouldn't be able to visit La Mesa Eco Park this soon. It's not exactly in our list of places-to-visit-this-holiday-season but we just couldn’t let the opportunity pass.  
La Mesa Eco-Park
As expected on a Sunday, there were already A LOT of people in La Mesa when we arrived at 11:30am. There were families picnicking, bird watchers holding onto their binoculars every other minute, photographers taking pre-nuptial and pre-debut shots of their clients, kids rolling on the garden, college students holding their team-building activities and couples taking a nap.  It’s like a bigger, greener, relatively cleaner but noisier version of Quezon City Memorial Circle.  


WE LOVE:
- The fact that there’s a rehabilitated forest in the metro
- That it offers a cheap alternative to out-of-town beach resorts
- That it’s family-friendly
- That the management is not strict about photo shoots
- That there are gazillion things to do here
- TRIBAL ART STORE! (pictures below)

WE DON'T LIKE:
- Too much noise :(
- Distance from the other cities in Metro Manila
- Horse waste disposal (oh, the smell! And it’s near the dam, which is MWSS’ source of water….)

TIPS:
- For photographers: make sure to secure a permit from the Admin office
- For day trippers: bring lots of food and WATER as it can get really hot in the afternoon
- For everyone: go as early as you can!
