Our son had a blast riding a bike and really enjoyed the park. We have been to Baguio just last month but we didn't have the opportunity to visit Burnham Park, also due to the persistent rain. The last time that I have been to this place was during the 1990's when I was still single. The place is still good contrary to what other people say that it is already passe and not maintained properly. In fact, I found it more improved and cleaner than when I last visited it years ago.
The place is teeming with tourists both locals and foreigners alike. everybody is enjoying the place with the cool weather and bright sunshine. After our son got tired of biking, we proceed to the man-made lake and enjoyed rowing the animal-shaped boats. The lake is large enough to go boating around and we really had fun exploring the place from end to end.
We had a friend with us who is a member of the Philippine Dragon Boat team and we had a blast taking impromptu tutorials on competitive rowing. The children on board were so delighted with the rowing chants like "oars up" and "row". Our friend-paddler remarked that the kids can be taught easily on competitive rowing and that they can be future members of the Philippine Dragon Boat team.
After the enjoyable boating, we explored the park further, ate some fruits and bought a native-made bird like toy which flies like a real bird. Such toy can only be found in Baguio, especially in Burnham Park. Amenities of the park includes huge playground for kids and an amusement park with various rides. If you have the time to visit Baguio, don't miss to visit Burnham Park. It's still there and still hasn't lost most of its charms.
