THE PEOPLES PARK DAVAO CITY

We ended up in this place after a failed post office run looking for something for Honey Mae. And I must admit I liked it. Then I took Honey Mae & Renzo to dinner.

The People's Park was created through the conversion of the old PTA Grounds or the Palaruang Panlunsod (lit. 'City Playground'), a sporting and events venue of the city, into a park.
The conversion of the grounds into the "PTA Park" which costed ₱71 million was commenced in July 2006. The park had a soft opening in August 2007 during the Kadayawan festival.
It was inaugurated on December 15, 2007 and was named "People's Park" which was chosen among the 918 entries of the "Name the Park" contest organized by the city government. The winning name was by Romeo Sardon, a retired engineer and seaman. In December 2007, the project was 90 percent complete, with the other 10 percent to be implemented by early 2008.

The park covers an area of 4 hectares (9.9 acres). One of the main features of the park is a 425 square meters (4,570 sq ft) visitors’ center, the Durian Dome, which has a design inspired from the durian fruit. The Open Plaza hosts a rainbow walk through drive where some potted palms are displayed.
