In a city like Taguig, where towering buildings are seen in the horizon, one will also be granted with spots for nature leisure, perfect for sitting around, some food trucks to explore, and a park with no chairs, no tables, just a path filled with circles.
Mckinley West Park sits out just outside Mckinley Hill; a familiar scenery when traversing Lawton Avenue. We spend our afternoons jogging here — no pollution, no crowd; it’ll be just you, the nature, some rising buildings, and some cars passing by.
Drop by during summer and see the grass brown in color. Come before rainy season, and the ground will give strong hues of green. Either way, still a beautiful natural view to possess in between snack breaks.
Try using a fitness app if you run here then run around in loops in the pathway. See if you could form a panda in your running map. ?
Mckinley West Park seems like a relaxing place. How do you get to the park? I love the scenic background of the photo you posted.
It’s just a few steps away from my office. Thank you, it’s a sundown photo during summer 🙂
You got me at food trucks! I love places like this. So close to the hustle and bustle of a city, but a nice, quiet oasis away from it all.
The food trucks are on only during Thursdays til weekends though. Still good because it keeps me away from temptation lol!
I don’t know much about the Philippines, so this is nice. I do love cities, but I also love to get away from them from time to time. Great post!
Thank you! You’ll love the Philippines, we have more than 7,000 islands to explore! Come drop by in the future 🙂
I would love to see more pictures of this park. Food trucks are always a hit. Any that your recommend in the area? What do they sell?
They have burgers, gelato, ice creams, sisig, and other well-loved Filipino dishes 🙂
Did you manage to make a panda with your map? What’s your favourite part of the park? Sounds like fun!
Yes, I did! The park is bare as of the moment, there’s not much view to see. But I suspect it will change in the years to come. It is indeed fun to have it all to yourself when jogging. 🙂
Where is Taguig? I assume it’s somewhere in the Philippines? Although McKinley doesn’t sound like it’s in Ph.
You are correct, Mckinley sounds foreign. Taguig is located in Metro Manila. 🙂
You said to go before rainy season – that’s around October right? I wanted to go there for my honeymoon in Oct but I found out that was around the time of monsoon season. 🙁 I like your idea of using a fitness app and going for a run there. I’ll try that out when I do make it over there!
For Philippine season, rain starts around June. 😉 Yes, you should try it! Any running app will do 🙂
Looks like a peaceful park in which to relax … great photo!
