Water utility company Manila Water has announced that Quezon City’s La Mesa Ecopark will reopen its doors this June in celebration of World Environment Day and Philippine Environment Month.
Prior to its reopening, the park will undergo rehabilitation helmed by Manila Water. The rehabilitation will be carried out with approval from the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and Quezon City (QC) local government.
The said rehabilitation will be done in phases, with Phase 1 focusing on the repairs of the park’s Eco Academy Pavilion, team building activity centers, and the museum. The souvenir shop, picnic areas, and viewing deck will also get a makeover for the visitors to enjoy.
Meanwhile, Phases 2 and 3 will continue during the park’s opening in June.
“The La Mesa Ecopark will be a place to commune with nature without traveling far. Aligning with global conservation principles, each visit will be an immersion and appreciation of biodiversity in the city,” said Manila Water President Jocot de Dios in a press release.
La Mesa Ecopark closed in early February this year after the non-profit organization ABS-CBN Foundation ended its stewardship of the park and returned its management to the MWSS.
This year’s World Environment Day will take place on June 5. Stay tuned for updates regarding La Mesa Ecopark’s reopening by visiting Manila Water’s Facebook, Instagram, or X (formerly Twitter) pages.
