La Mesa Ecopark, Nature park in Greater Lagro, Quezon City, Philippines
La Mesa Ecopark is a nature park covering 33 hectares within the La Mesa Watershed Reservation, featuring walking trails, forest areas, and a lagoon for water activities. The grounds offer recreational facilities including archery, climbing walls, and paddling options for different types of visitors.
The site was established in the 1950s as a watershed protection area and underwent major renewal in 1999 through a conservation project. This transformation turned the protected land into a space accessible to the public.
The park serves as an educational center where visitors learn about environmental conservation through guided tours and workshops focusing on Philippine flora and fauna.
The park is open Tuesday through Sunday from 7 AM to 4 PM, with different entry fees depending on residency status. It is best visited early in the day when trails are less crowded and light is most favorable.
The area houses approximately 220 animal and plant species within its natural setting. Visitors encounter this variety while walking the trails and enjoying recreational activities.

The public parks and botanical gardens of Southeast Asian cities provide respite from traffic and congestion. In Bangkok, Lumphini Park offers 142 acres of green space with a man-made lake and exercise facilities, while Benjakitti Park sits along the waterfront near the Queen Sirikit Convention Centre. Chatuchak Park borders the weekend market of the same name, and Sanam Luang has served as a ceremonial ground near the Grand Palace for centuries. In other regional capitals, these sites fulfill similar functions. Singapore's Gardens by the Bay spans 250 acres of reclaimed land along Marina Bay, housing the 165-foot-tall Supertree structures. The Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens opened in 1865 and displays over 1,000 animal species. In Yangon, Kandawgyi Lake anchors a 370-acre park with views of Shwedagon Pagoda, while Taman Suropati in Jakarta serves as a gathering place for locals in the Menteng district. Several sites focus on botanical collections. The National Orchid Garden in Singapore showcases over 1,000 orchid species within the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Penang Botanic Gardens was established in 1884 under British colonial rule and preserves rainforest sections. The Bali Botanic Garden sits at 4,070 feet elevation in Bedugul, offering cooler temperatures than coastal areas. Hanoi Botanical Garden, founded in 1890, maintains native Vietnamese flora across 82 acres in the old quarter.
