Nestled in the heart of Quezon City, the La Mesa Eco Park attracts the people for so many reasons. This garden-like park provides opportunities for visitors to relax and unwind while enjoying a wide variety of trees and plants, particularly orchids.
In addition to excellent recreation, the park also boasts of its salt-water swimming pools. Known as the only park having salt-water swimming pools open for public use in Manila, La Mesa Eco Park administrator Delia Abesamis asserted that it is one of their facilities that no other park in Manila has.
Inaugurated on April 28 of this year, La Mesa Eco Park is a joint effort of the Quezon City government with Mayor Sonny Belmonte, Metropolitan Water-works and Sewerage System (MWSS), Bantay Kalikasan Foundation, private firms and other sponsors.
The establishment of the park was to uplift the environmental consciousness of the people in Metro Manila.
La Mesa Watershed in Quezon City is the primary source of drinking water of about 12 million Metro Manila residents. The property is owned by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), a government agency. La Mesa Watershed is 2700 hectares, 700 hectares of which is the reservoir and 2000 hectares of which is the surrounding forest. This forest is the last remaining one of its size in Metro Manila and serves as its carbon dioxide sink. La Mesa Watershed, therefore, is vital to the city, not only because it is a primary source of drinking water, but also because its forest functions as the lungs of Metro Manila, providing it with clean air.
At La Mesa Ecopark, each member of the family can enjoy varied outdoor activities. La Mesa Ecopark boasts of the following facilities:
1. Lopez Picnic Grounds – Five hectares of picnic spots with grilling facilities underneath a forest of varied trees.
2. Superferry Boating Lagoon – To experience and enjoy a paddle boat ride, one once had to trek to Baguio’s Burnham Park to do so. Now this popularity is available right here in Quezon City.
3. Petron Fitness and Mountain Bike Trail – Here, one can enjoy a full-body workout under the shade of the trees. The fitness trail has 17 exercise stations and connects a forested 1.2 km mountain bike trail.
4. Shell Flower Terraces – Two(2) hectares of flower terraces. This is actually the dam wall of the reservoir.
