We went with my baby girl to Burnham Park late yesterday to
let her get her walk as we have done occasionally when she gets bored at home. As we got into the front of the lake, I saw a
banner. We walked to the banner so I
could read what is written. I was surprised
that the park’s lake is under renovation. I did not notice it when we were
walking towards the lake. Though I saw
materials for construction, it did not occur to me that the lake is under
renovation, probably, because what was on my mind was the lake is in full
business of renting boats to the people who want to enjoy its serenity.
When I look straight to the lake, I saw cranes, and
backhoes in standby, and the lake has no water and the soil were excavated and
partially removed.
I remember that we were here last January 13, 2013 and
all the boats were all in business. I
had no idea this was coming. That’s what
happen when one have not tuned in to the radio or TV for years to know what was
happening around and those that are bound to happen.
Anyways, if you’re a tourist planning to come up to
Baguio City, or a local resident on the outskirts of Baguio City, planning to
go there to enjoy the lake, this shall inform you that you’ll be
frustrated. However, all the other
recreations for children like biking, and the others are all working.
Here are some images you will see if you want to go there:

Figure 6 I guess these duck-boats are eager to swim

I am a residence here at Baguio, so when I heard that Baguio City has a planned to renovate the Burnham Lake I was very eager to wait, when they going to start and so exited to see the outcome is.So the situation is not frustrating instead I am happy that the government and residence here at Baguio planned to make Baguio City bloom for more tourist to come.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not frustrating, in fact it is good to see that it is being cleaned from those mud that accumulated. Yah, we hope this is the beginning of making it like during the times of Imelda Marcos when she really made it a beautiful place for families to enjoy. In 1986, when I was new here in Baguio City, Burnham Park was beautiful with its blooming flowers around.
