Go off the beaten track to the picturesque Paco Park

Situated near the famous Rizal Park, this simple and quaint recreational plaza is gradually stealing the limelight from the former.

Once upon a time, it was a municipal cemetery, before being turned into a central supply and ammunition depot, before finally becoming a recreational garden. 

I like to chill here a lot compared to the touristy Rizal Park (no offense to our National Hero), simply because it is less crowded and you can have a more intimate time with someone special or just with the place.

This Baroque-style chapel is the highlight of the park.

 

People-watching is one of my favourite hobbies.

 

This is also a venue for wedding pictorials. Best wishes to the couple!

 

Anyone is allowed to walk (and pose, of course) on the top of the wall of niches.
