Situated on Antonio Villegas Street (formerly known as Calle Arroceros) in the central district of Ermita in Manila, Arroceros Forest Park is a hidden secret and a verdant oasis. Sheltering a wide variety of ornamental plants and some very rare breeds of avifauna, it is also dubbed as ‘Manila’s last lung’ as it is the only nature park in the city.
Flanked on the riverside of the River Pasig, the park was developed in 1993 and sprawled over a vast 5.4 acres of urban forested land. Abound with shady dense green trees, coupled with the eerie yet tranquil silence and peppered with beautiful brooks, the forest is considered to be the green lung amidst the chaos and cacophony of the hustling city. The City Government of Manila manages and maintains the park in partnership with the private environmental group- Winner Foundation. Providing a refreshing change from the heat and pollution of the city, the lush green park is one of the prime attractions of Manila, thronged by both locals and tourists alike.
