The Davao Experience: Strolling Around People's Park

This is the twenty-first part of our 4-days-3-nights Davao Experience.

Our last destination for our Part 2 City Tour is the famous People's Park. It is located at the heart of the city across Casa Leticia at the corner of Jose Camus and J. Palma Gil Streets.

People's Park is a 4-hectare theme park with several tropical rainforest trees, various small and large sculptures, fountains, ponds, waterfalls, and other interesting things. The most famous one is the Durian Dome which serves as the visitor's center and main entrance of the park. Another famous sculpture inside the park that we were really excited to see was the gigantic sculpture of the Philippine Eagle. There's also a bridge with a view of the dancing fountain but we were not able to see it.

Overall, People's park is like your regular everyday park. Except it has more things to see like the sculptures all around the park. A city tour would not be complete without seeing this famous tourist destination. Also, a good way to stroll around the park is with an ice cream on hand so buy one at the vendors outside which costs only 10php.

Cartoon Sculptures are found all around the Park

Pigeons are also found in the Park


After a long day, we headed back to Ponce Suites via a jeepney ride which costs 8php/person only. We tried out the balcony at top of the Ponce Suites for some well-deserved night bonding with friends.

And that ends our last day in Davao. Up next, the flight back to Manila!
