A Real Parent's Story
Kite flying in the city center
“We bought a cheap kite from a vendor and spent 2 hours flying it. My kids said it was the best day of our Manila trip.”
Read full story
It is just a park but it is so much more. The open space feels like magic in the middle of Manila. My 7-year-old learned to fly a kite here. There are ice cream vendors, a small train ride, and the grandstand has free activities.
