The La Mesa Ecopark (LME) recently opened to the public Phase 3 of the environmental haven with a mini forest and team building area, further highlighting the need for environmental protection and the importance of being one with nature to our well-being.
The mini forest features a bike and hike trail within a 1.5-kilometer loop where rare birds and insects reside. Densely vegetated, it boasts of a rugged terrain perfect for trail bikers, nature trekkers and bird watchers.
The team building area features recreational activities and obstacle course facilities by Global Gutz, which can be booked by group of families, friends or organizations looking for something new and exciting. The La Mesa Ecopark offers other recreational activities inside the park which include wall climbing, paintball, target shooting, rappelling, and archery tag.
This December, guests and visitors are in for a treat as La Mesa Ecopark launches its Christmas celebration “Bring Back the Spark in La Mesa Ecopark”.
To bring in the holiday cheer, Manila Water Foundation recently hosted a Christmas Tree Lighting event at the La Mesa Ecopark. A Christmas tree made from fallen forest trees and bamboo were repurposed and decorated to delight all visitors and invite them to take selfies and group photos.
For the whole month of December, LME has also extended its operating hours, now from 6:00AM to 6:00PM, Tuesday-Sunday. The park will also open a Christmas Bazaar on December 15 until December 22 where guests can have a chance to shop for sustainable gift ideas and food to share for the holiday season. Guests can also attend the Simbang Gabi or Misa De Gallo in the La Mesa Ecopark at 6:00AM from December 16-22.
From December 15-22, guests are also not required to register online to visit the La Mesa Ecopark. Guests can proceed to the park and settle the standard entrance fee (free for Quezon City Citizens, and 20 pesos for non-QC residents) and enjoy the festivities. The management will only allow 1,000 individuals inside the park at a time to ensure efficient park services and protection of the biodiversity inside LME.
