Popularly known as Luneta Park, Rizal Park is Manila’s most iconic urban central park on Roxas Blvd in Malate. Specially dedicated to Jose Rizal- the Filipino nationalist and freedom fighter- the park's highlight is the central Rizal Monument that houses the mortal remains of Jose Rizal. The urban park is one of Asia's largest green spaces, boasting ornamental lawns, shining fountains, well-groomed flower beds, and paved walkways.
Considered to be an oasis of greenery in the middle of a cluttered and chaotic city, Rizal Park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Metro Manila which is especially thronged in the morning and evening hours, and on public holidays. Formerly known as Bagumbayan at the time of Spanish colonization, the park was later dedicated to the Filipino freedom fighters and the name was changed to Rizal Park. Other than being a popular picnic spot, the park is also used to play games like badminton, chess, Stick fighting, kite flying etc.
