Ayala Triangle Gardens, Urban park in Makati Central Business District, Philippines.
Ayala Triangle Gardens is a park in Makati's business district spanning two hectares and planted with more than one hundred tropical trees including rain trees, golden palms, fire trees, and podocarpus. Paved pathways wind through the landscaped grounds with benches positioned throughout for rest.
This space was built on the former site of Nielson Field, Manila's main airport before World War II, where the original runways were transformed into roads forming the triangle shape. This conversion reflects how the city repurposed a historical aviation site for public use.
Public artworks by Filipino artists and monuments honoring national figures like Benigno Aquino Jr. and Gabriela Silang are displayed throughout the space. These works form part of the everyday landscape that visitors encounter while walking through.
The park is open daily and features wide pathways for walking with benches placed throughout for sitting. Restaurants and cafes are located nearby, making it convenient to combine a visit with dining or refreshment stops in the business area.
From November through January the space transforms with synchronized light and music displays featuring LED technology and laser effects that visitors often miss outside this season. This temporary festival changes the character of the garden during these months.

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.
The historical monuments of Manila showcase Spanish colonial architecture and the national history of the Philippines. The city includes 16th-century fortifications like Intramuros and Fort Santiago, Catholic churches such as the neo-Romanesque cathedral and the baroque church of Saint Augustine, urban parks like Rizal Park, and museums depicting local culture. The Chinese district of Binondo and Manila Bay with its seaside promenade complete this architectural heritage.
