Arroceros Forest Park, Urban forest park in Ermita, Philippines
The park contains 61 tree varieties and 8,000 ornamental plants, creating a natural sanctuary within the dense urban environment of Manila.
The area formerly served as Parián de Arroceros, a central market during Spanish rule until its destruction by fire in the nineteenth century.
The name derives from its past function as a rice trading post where merchants transported and sold their goods via river routes.
Located near Manila City Hall and the LRT Line 1 Central Terminal station, the park provides easy access for visitors from different parts of Manila.
In February 2020, City Ordinance No. 8607 designated the location as a permanent forest park, protecting its 3,500 trees from future development.
