Pasonanca Natural Park, Natural park in Zamboanga City, Philippines
The protected area spans 17,414 hectares of the Zamboanga Peninsula, containing old growth forests, steep slopes, and the Tumaga River watershed system.
The park originated in 1912 when General John Pershing initiated its construction, with Thomas Hanley designing the original layout of the grounds.
The park contains La Jardin de Maria Clara Lobregat, a dedicated space that displays local flora, including native orchids and houses regional bird species.
Visitors can access three swimming pools within the grounds, including an Olympic-size pool, a natural flowing pool, and a children's pool with slides.
The park shelters the critically endangered Philippine Eagle and serves as the primary water source for 800,000 residents of Zamboanga City.
