Ortigas Park

Ortigas Park
Don Francisco Ortigas Jr. Road (former Emerald Avenue), Pasig, Philippines

——————–
There was a seminar I attended at Ortigas Center last weekend.  During the break, I walked around the area because I was sooo bored.  I ended up stumbling upon this wonderful park located in between buildings.  It was just a refreshing sight!

The 1,590 square meter park was developed by Ortigas & Company to celebrate its 75 years of existence.  It was opened to the public last December 2005.

The mural design portrayed the history of Ortigas & Company & the people behind it.  The artist used objects & symbols that described the success of their business.

This is really a great place to hangout!  I read that it was meant for employees, visitors and shoppers to just chill out and rest.  It is a great place to escape the office ambiance & all the stress you feel during work hours.  And yes, I think the beautiful landscape really does have that effect.  Hey, I found it to be a great place to pass the time!

Aside from the beautiful scenery, the park has  a coffee shop that serve drinks & food.  There is a stage where some shows are held occasionally.  A perfect place to escape and relax 🙂

I do hope that Makati would have a place like this.  More pictures of this beautiful park here.

    Hey! I used to work in one of buildings there along Emerald Ave., and I walk past that park alot on the way home. It really is a refreshing sight, like a small patch of getaway island. 😀

    There's a small park in Makati too, Salcedo Vill, along Leviste St. I pass by it a lot as well but I never tried looking around inside (the borders are filled with bushes). I see a lot of dogs though. LOL LOL
