Burnham Park: Baguio's best



Burnham Park is a man-made lake in the middle of the cold city. Daniel Burnham, the creator of the park name it in his name. It is one of the most visited place of the city. Local residents and foreigners enjoyed the view. They enjoyed different facilities. There you can watch football games, biking and strolling or boating.

"At the southern end of the park is a circular skating rink where skates can be rented. There are also tennis and basketball courts, a few restaurants, outdoor kiosks, a children's playground, and an orchidarium where various kinds of plants, trees and flowers are sold. Chairs and benches are distributed around the park for those who just want to sit down and relax."

I really enjoyed my stays in Baguio with my classmates and friends. It is the best place to relax especially during vacation. And Burnham Park is one of the best. We enjoyed boating there and watching live band all night.

Burnham is really amazing... i hope i can go there and stay there again with my friends.
