Navotas Centennial Park
Navotas Centennial Park

The Navotas Centennial Park is a waterfront park in Navotas, Philippines, facing Manila Bay. It is the largest open space in the city and is Camanava or Northern Manila District's version of the Baywalk. A popular jogging, strolling and skating spot among local residents, the park runs along the waterfront from the R-10 Bridge (also known as Bangkulasi Bridge) to the Navotas Bus Terminal, just off Circumferential Road 4 in Bagumbayan North. The park was opened on January 16, 2006 during the celebration of the 100th Founding Anniversary of the municipality of Navotas. It was built on the site of a former garbage transfer station during the term of Mayor Toby Tiangco who described the project as "garbage turned into gold." The park hosts a variety of activities and local government celebrations throughout the year, including the annual Pangisdaan Festival commemorating the founding anniversary of the "Fishing Capital of the Philippines", and the Bangkang de Sagwan race launched by Mayor John Rey Tiangco in January 2017.The park is lined with palm trees and lamp posts, and has several bleachers near the park's entrance facing Manila Bay. It also features a two-way ramp and a stock room built in 2014. The park hosts aerobics and taebo sessions on weekends and is also a popular venue for outdoor concerts. In February 2017, the Navotas City Government in partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority launched a carless weekend program and designated the Navotas Centennial Park as a family zone where residents and visitors can enjoy the outdoors as a community free from pollution and vehicular traffic.

Malabon People's Park

The Malabon People's Park, also known as Catmon People's Park, is an urban park situated in the densely populated village of Catmon, in the northern Metro Manila city of Malabon, the Philippines. The 0.3-hectare (0.74-acre) park occupies the central plaza of the Justice Compound, home of the Malabon Prosecutor's Office and formerly the Malabon-Navotas Regional Trial Court until 2010. It is located just off Sanciangco Street near its intersection with Governor Pascual Avenue in a flood-prone part of the city close to the south bank of the Tullahan River. The plan for the Catmon park was announced in 2011 when the Malabon city government allotted ₱9,194.12 for the installation of playground equipment at the Justice Compound as part of its 2012 budget. It was inaugurated by Mayor Antolin Oreta on December 16, 2012, and was subsequently named the "People's Park."Amenities in the park include a multi-purpose stage, an area for aerobics sessions, and a 1,500-square-metre (16,000 sq ft) children's playground that includes an air walker, self-weighted rower and dome climber. It also has a badminton and tennis court, comfort rooms, stone benches and accessibility features for persons with disability. The Malabon City Main Library, one of only two public libraries in the city, is situated just across the street from the park. It was built in 1995 to replace the old facility near the Malabon City Hall in San Agustin. In 2011, the New Malabon City Jail was built by the national government through its Bureau of Jail Management and Penology at the site of the former regional trial court which moved to higher ground in Goldenvale Subdivision, Tinajeros in 2010 after the destruction caused by Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy).In January 2014, the construction of a basketball half court at the park was announced and was given a budget of ₱935,862.32 under the Malabon General Fund CY 2014. In July of the same year, the Malabon city government under Mayor Oreta entered into a contract with a local builder for the construction of a full covered court amounting to ₱5.9 million and designed to be 1 square metre (11 sq ft) above the ground to prevent flood damage during calamities. The following month, the local government also awarded the rehabilitation of the drainage line located at the park to a local construction firm.The Malabon local government also plans to roll out a mini-government center at the people's park, as well as a youth center for juvenile delinquents, basketball and volleyball courts, a new police headquarters and a fire station.
