BURNHAM PARK

Burnham Park is the very heart of Baguio City in the Philippines. It is located at the most valuable piece of Baguio real estate and is free for the enjoyment of visitors and residents alike.

Designed by and named after premier American architect and urban planner, Daniel Hudson Burnham, who also designed the original plan for Baguio City. Burnham Park remains, to this day, one of the Philippines' most well known and best-loved parks

It retains much of Daniel Burnham's original design and lay-out a century ago, with a few features added, in true Filipino fashion, to make it a vibrant center of activity for everyone to enjoy. This page will contain photos and information on the different cluster areas of Burnham Park very soon! Burnham Park has 12 cluster areas: the man-made lake with rowboats for hire, a childrens playground, the skating rink, the Rose Garden, the Orchidarium, Igorot Garden, Melvin Jones Grandstand, the Athletic Bowl, a Picnic Grove, the Japanese Peace Tower, Pine Trees of the World and Sunshine Park.

Originally designed as a much-needed green park, to provide a bustling city with a peaceful environment with wide open green spaces, Burnham Park under Filipino administration is now an amusement park with boating, bicycle and skating areas, sports and gaming areas, plus a few eateries.
