Quezon Memorial Circle

Exercise area, park, plants for sale, cafes and museum

This place is the burial site if the former president of the Philippines, Manuel L. Quezon. It has a botanical market, a park, and exercise area. It's a good place to bring your family for outdoor activities. It would soon be busier because of the train station to be put up their.

2020 had been a blur and for some of us, it was a bore. We all need a place to stretch out, get some fresh air and exercise. QC Memorial Circle is free. With the help of the local city government, they have Zumba and daily exercise led by professional trainers. Your kids can ride the bike, your mom can shop for plants and dad can enjoy a good morning breakfast at one of the restaurants. Come and see for yourself!

AMBIANCE: It's the closest to nature you can get in the city. Its signature is the big trees that surround it and the plant shops under the trees. Very beautiful sunset to see here casting silhouettes on trees. Relaxing moment. TIP: Visit all the shops first before buying you might find cheaper and better plants than the first store you find. Prepare your urinary bladder as restrooms are pretty far but there is one in the area, just ask. Don't get pressured by salestalk. Visit here at around 2pm or sunset

It is January 2021 and one can certainly feel the impact of the C19 on the place - fewer people, recreation booths remain closed. Still worth supporting the small snack stalls and other shops. Place remained mostly clean but could use a bit more cleaning around the closed known-brand restos.
