At a time when green spaces are diminishing in Metro Manila, Filinvest City’s Park System sets a precedent for sustainable urban planning that prioritizes the well-being and quality of life of its residents. Filinvest City is where urban life seamlessly blends with lush nature.
As the largest green-certified development in Southeast Asia and the only township development in the Philippines with comprehensive and unified green spaces, its sprawling park system is an oasis for relaxation, recreation, and reconnecting with oneself. From jogging paths to picnic spots, and from community events to quiet moments, there’s something for everyone in Filinvest City’s vibrant outdoor spaces.
Central Park, located in the heart of Filinvest City, serves as a vibrant hub for community events, recreational activities, and leisure. Visitors can rent bikes, use Moovr, enjoy “Eats by the Park” for a delightful food trip, visit the botanical garden, and look forward to the upcoming Central Park stage – The Tree. Parkgoers can now also enjoy the convenience of the newly installed solar-powered smart benches featuring a Bluetooth speaker and both wired and wireless charging options.
Axis Park, situated in Northgate Cyberzone, provides a refreshing escape for professionals with seating areas and peaceful spots for relaxation within the bustling business district.
Spectrum Linear Park, located in Spectrum Midway, is a landscaped park ideal for walking, jogging, and cycling, stretching across the area to provide a continuous green space.
River Park, near Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel, offers a serene riverside area rich with birdlife, making it an ideal spot for contemplation and nature watching.
Furthermore, inside Festival Mall is the Water Garden that connects to River Park and features an outdoor food bazaar and an event space, providing a relaxing spot amidst nature and shopping.
A New Oasis Along the Alabang River
Creekside Park is the latest development that will complete Filinvest City’s Park System, adding another beautiful space for recreation and relaxation with areas for outdoor activities, sitting spots, and public art. Soon, parkgoers will be able to stroll through its walkable spaces that invite leisurely walks, morning jogs, or family outings, all within a setting that harmonizes with the natural beauty of the river.
“The Park System holds special significance to us because it was integrated into Filinvest City’s masterplan long before outdoor spaces became a trend,” said Don-Don Ubaldo, First Vice President for Filinvest Townships, Filinvest Alabang, Inc. “We are committed to caring for and preserving the vibrant wildlife, ensuring that future generations can enjoy their beauty and ecological benefits.”
The park’s accessibility, connected to River Park via the Corporate Avenue underpass, transforms the area into a walkable space linking the Spectrum District to the City Center and Festival Mall. This ensures that everyone, from young children to seniors, can enjoy the wide and green open spaces effortlessly.
Creekside Park will not only enhance the local environment but also serve as a recreational retreat for residents, making it a central hub for community gatherings and leisurely escapes. This new green space will elevate the Alabang area, adding to its charm and appeal, and will reinforce Filinvest City’s vision of a vibrant, sustainable urban landscape.
“Incorporating green spaces into Filinvest City is our way of giving back to the community. These thoughtfully designed areas offer a walkable and refreshing experience, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy nature and fresh air right within the city,” said Ubaldo. “Our goal is to create a city that not only progresses but also nurtures its people, fostering growth alongside its development.”
The Park System exemplifies Filinvest City’s commitment to elevating the community’s quality of life. By strengthening the connection between nature and community, it ensures Filinvest City remains a leader in sustainable development and sets a new standard for integrating green spaces into city life.
