Paco Park

Address: General Luna Sts. Paco Manila

Hours: Open Daily: 8-5

If you want a break from all your shopping, visiting, sight-seeing, head over to Paco Park for a relaxing afternoon. Bring a book or wander around to view all of the visual wonders this park has to offer. The park is circular, covered in moss and stone with a beautiful, small chapel right in the middle. Originally a cemetery for the Spanish aristocrats, it was converted to a park in 1966. No one has been buried here si nce 1912. If you are visiting on a Friday, attend the free concerts held in Paco at 6pm. What a peaceful way to spend the start of a Friday night! Listen to locals sing and dance in a tranquil setting. The park is open daily from 8-5, so bring over your lunch and sit and just people watch.
