After walking to this icon Manila Park ... only to discover the whole park & inner tourist sites / attractions are closed only for now during the Coronavirus restrictions
A large park with plenty of spaces for walking and enjoying the morning or evenings. There are gardens to explore, water fountains to watch and places for picnics. Parking is a challenge.
For long time Manila residents this is still Luneta! The children and families have taken this park back. A lot less hawkers and a much cleaner well cared and manicured park for all to enjoy. You c...
Rizal Park is located in the center of Manilla next to Roxas Boulevard, facing Manilla bay. There is a large fountain in the middle of the park, and is a treasured place for rest for the people of Manilla.
The scale of the park is large, the scenery elegant, and is covered with shade-giving trees, with an aroma perceptible to all. At dusk the sparkling surface of the sea reflects the shadows of the swaying shoreline coconut palms, just like a painting brimming with picturesque charm. In the center of Rizal Park there are 3 large flower gardens, which are specifically dedicated to Chinese, Italian, and Japanese flowers and plants. There is a unique rock garden inside the park, along with beautiful a fountain and waterfall. Hardly a day goes by without an open-air concert which adds to the appeal of Rizal Park.

I really love this place, very lovely. Lots of people gathered here at sunset to relax. The piped in peaceful music making for a wonderful atmosphere. The scenery is wonderful, including the surrounding area, and it is well-maintained, making it a popular place for citizens to relax. Every night, a fountain show using LEDs is held, and many people from children to the elderly crowd. It is a popular spot for tourists.

#triplocal We we're at Manila Rizal Park. The place there was so nice and it was very nice in our eyes. It has a big area for you to roam around. You can also buy some foods there if you are hungry.

Rizal Park has lots of interesting stuff to see, without any one attraction being mind-boggling or spectacular. There are museums, gardens, orchidarium and countless statues and monuments. For me, the big selling point was trees, grass and a bit of nature. It’s a good place to wind down in and step back from the urban chaos, while also being a nice add-on to a trip to nearby Intramuros or Manila Ocean Park, Fort Santiago and Manila Cathedral.
As an attraction in its own right, well, Rizal Park is in a pretty handy location if you happen to be staying in Ermita or Malate.

A nice short walk from Intramuros, this park is big and green.The giant flag and many busts of famous Filipinos gives you a sense of the history of Manila.
Rizal Park is in the urban area. This park is mainly dedicated to the person of Rizal. The park is full of green grass and there are some carousels for children, but the facilities are very old! However, there are fewer people in the park, and the air is fresher than outside the park!
Beautiful park. 😗😘😍🤑
