Burnham Park in Baguio City
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.
The 'mother of all parks' in the Summer Capital of the Philippines, all other developments like the city's commercial center Session Road, majestic Baguio Cathedral, our
City Hall, and the hugely popular Baguio City Market were built around Burnham Park. It may be accessed from any one of the following roads: Harrison , Kisad Road, Governor Pack and Magsaysay Roads
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.
The park retains much of Daniel Burnham's original design and layout a century ago, with a few features added, in true Filipino fashion, to make it a vibrant center of activity for everyone to enjoy.
